How results are calculated

Each calculator applies fixed, published formulas to the figures you enter. Valuation tools start from maintainable adjusted EBITDA and apply sector multiple ranges from our UK SME Valuation Multiples Guide, then adjust for cash and debt to reach equity value. Scores such as owner dependency and exit readiness weight your answers to the areas buyers test most. Each calculator page shows its formula and a worked example.

Methodology and limitations

This calculator provides general, indicative guidance based solely on the information entered. It is not a formal business valuation, tax calculation, legal opinion or recommendation to accept or reject an offer. Actual value and sale proceeds depend on detailed financial, commercial and transaction-specific factors.

Contact details are requested only if you choose to receive a summary report or ask for a confidential review. Need a formal figure rather than an estimate? See our SME business valuation service and our published valuation methodology.

Questions owners ask

Are all BusinessValuation.co.uk calculators free?
Yes. The main Business Valuation Calculator and all 15 specialist calculators are free to use. You do not need to register or provide an email address to see your result. Contact details are requested only if you choose to receive a summary report or request a confidential review.
Which calculator should I start with?
Start with the adjusted EBITDA calculator, because most other calculations depend on a maintainable earnings figure a buyer would accept. If you want a single indicative value range, use the free business valuation calculator.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no account or registration. You enter your figures and see the result on screen straight away.
Are my figures sent to analytics?
No. Our analytics record only anonymous events, such as which calculator was used. Your figures, results and personal details are never sent to analytics. If you ask for a summary report, the figures needed for that report are used to prepare it, as described in our privacy policy.
Is the result a formal valuation?
No. Each result is an indicative calculation based on the information and assumptions entered. It is not suitable for HMRC, court, EOT, EMI, lending, probate, matrimonial, shareholder-dispute or other formal purposes.
Can I save or compare my results?
Yes. Your latest result from each calculator is kept in this browser, and the comparison page shows your saved results side by side with a note on what each figure measures.
Can I send a summary to my accountant or adviser?
Yes. After you see your result you can ask for a summary report and, if you choose, send a separate copy to one adviser. Each copy has its own private link that expires after seven days.
Which calculator should I use if I have received an offer?
Use the offer sense-check calculator to see the EBITDA multiple an offer implies, the earn-out calculator to separate certain cash from conditional payments, and the equity value calculator to estimate what you would receive at completion.
Which calculator should I use before selling a business?
Start with the adjusted EBITDA calculator and the free business valuation calculator, then use the exit readiness, owner dependency and customer concentration calculators to find the issues buyers are likely to test.
Where do the sector multiple ranges come from?
They come from the UK SME Valuation Multiples Guide, covering twelve sectors and split by under £1m and £1m+ adjusted EBITDA. They are guidance for UK SMEs, not a quotation for your business.
Can advisers use these calculators with their clients?
Yes. Approved partner firms can embed the calculators on their own website with their branding shown alongside ours. Contact us to discuss access.

Need more than an indicative calculator result?

A free calculator gives you a useful starting point. An adviser-led review can test the assumptions, normalise the earnings and explain what buyers may pay in the current market.

The initial consultation is free. Formal valuation work may be chargeable, and we confirm any fee before work begins.
