How do I value my business?

There are many ways to gain a business valuation. However, to make sure you get the best possible price when selling your business, you should seek expert advice from a business broker such as Hilton Smythe.

How does the valuation calculator work?

The Business Valuation Calculator takes the information you input and performs a series of calculations in the background to give you a likely range of values within which you might expect to successfully sell your business. These calculations use actual sold data that we hold and applies this data to the information you provide.

What multiple do I apply to my adjusted profit?

This is the element of valuing a business than can give wildly varying results and one that is not always simple to answer. There are many factors that affect the multiple used when valuing a business, from turnover and profit levels to the industry the business operates within. The UK average has historically been 4. For small, owner managed businesses such as cafes and fish and chip shops, a multiple between 1 and 3 is common. Manufacturing and mid-sized businesses tend to see multiples of 3 – 5 for instance. Professional help should be sought, allowing someone’s personal experience to guide you.
