This is an indicative estimate based on industry multiples, not a formal valuation. Actual value depends on customer concentration, lease terms, staff retention, brand strength and more.
Most Australian small-business owners carry a rough number in their head for what their business is worth — but it's usually a guess, anchored to what a mate sold for or what they hope to retire on. A real figure matters well before any sale: for succession planning, bringing in a partner, negotiating finance, or simply knowing whether the years of effort are building transferable value or just buying yourself a job. The Business Valuation Estimator gives owners a fast, indicative valuation range grounded in how buyers actually price SMEs, so the conversation can start from something better than a hunch. It is general information to orient your thinking, not a formal valuation or financial advice.
You answer four short questions — your industry, annual revenue, annual profit (EBITDA), employee count, and your recent growth trend — and the tool produces a low-to-high valuation range plus a mid-point. Under the hood it applies industry-specific revenue multiples and EBITDA multiples (the two lenses buyers most commonly use), blends them with more weight on earnings than on turnover, and then adjusts the range up or down according to whether your revenue is declining, flat, or growing. It also derives a revenue-per-employee efficiency signal and returns plain-English insights on what is helping or hurting your range, alongside general notes on CGT small business concessions and succession planning. The multiples are hand-built reference ranges, so the output is explicitly indicative — actual value also turns on customer concentration, lease terms, staff retention, brand strength, and how dependent the business is on you.
Australian SME owners who want a quick, realistic sense of what their business might be worth — whether they're weighing a sale, planning succession, or just tracking whether they're building transferable value.
The short answers are here. For anything else, ask below or get in touch.
It's a starting point, not a final number. The tool applies indicative industry multiples to your inputs and adjusts for growth, which reflects the broad logic buyers use — but a real valuation weighs factors the tool can't see: how concentrated your customers are, your lease and contract terms, staff retention, the strength of your systems, and how much the business depends on you personally. Treat the range as a way to frame the conversation, then engage a qualified business valuer before making decisions off the back of it.
These tools work together to give you a clearer picture of your business.
Use these results to make better decisions. If you'd like a second pair of eyes on them, an advisor can walk through what they mean for the business.
