Business Valuation FAQs

What steps are involved in the valuation?

Getting an estimated valuation from Captyx is easy in 3 simple steps.

  1. Enter your financials in the form above.
  2. Receive a solid valuation report in your email in 5 minutes. 
  3. Schedule a no obligation meeting with our valuation pros to review your results.

It is more than a calculator. We built the first online business valuation calculator over a decade ago and have used what we know along with industry data to create one of the most accurate business valuators possible. That being said, this relies solely on your inputs from the past 12 months and is meant to be used as a preliminary guide. 

In addition to a solid estimate of value, our system will also help you understand what to do next whether it is to raise your valuation, scale, or what to watch out for in the market today. You’ll receive a customized plan of action in addition to an estimated value.

Yes! All data and transmissions are 100% secure behind firewalls, ssl certificates, and powered by our very own enterprise cyber-security company (that we own). 

We will also sign an NDA with you upon request and will never share or sell your data to anyone. 

We work with, or have worked with, many of the large business brokerages and M&A Advisors by selling them our products and experience, including the valuations we provide to our clients. We’ve prepared over 1,500 businesses to go to market and have sold or helped sell over 225 businesses, including our own. We can provide case studies, names, and references upon request in addition to being named to the Inc. 5000 list 2 years in a row. 

Most of the existing online valuation tools you see on the internet are either: 

  1. Based upon our tools (we built the first one over a decade ago)
  2. Skewed to get you to talk to or sign up
  3. A complete guess

Ours is different because it uses real valuations that we have performed for businesses that have actually sold in addition to market data from over 40 sources for multiples, industry information, and comparable transactions. 

There is no catch – seriously!

If your business meets the qualifications above, we will work with you to create a valuation for your business, make sense of it with you, and take the time to understand your goals and reasons for selling. 

If it makes sense to you, we’d love the opportunity to represent your business and find a perfect buyer for it. 

Very few businesses are sold based upon revenue alone. Revenue is commonly used to determine overall health, growth, and sustainability of a business and weighs the multiple up or down. 

Actual value in a business is factored based primarily upon true sustainable free cash flow.

These terms are commonly called Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) and Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). 

We work with you to uncover the value of what you’ve built and value the business using our experience in the market and as entrepreneurs ourselves. 

The Captyx team has performed business valuations for over 400 industries and counting. These industries include home services (hvac, plumbing, water treatment, electrical, roofing, lawn care, etc), manufacturing, home products, consumer products, e-commerce, digital platforms, agencies, software, healthcare, energy, oil and gas services, agriculture, equipment sales, automotive repair, body shops, construction, real estate, financial services, commercial services, industrial services, wholesale, distribution, transportation, pharmacy, IT services, staffing, professional services, specialty trade, retail, franchises, SaaS, and many more. 

If there is a demand from buyers and the business is sellable, then Captyx serves that industry and has experience uncovering the value of what you’ve built.

A Captyx business valuation is driven primarily by normalized EBITDA and cash flow quality, including earnings consistency, margin stability, and the level of owner dependency. Businesses with recurring or predictable revenue, diversified customers, and clean financials typically support higher valuations than those with volatile or concentrated income.

Captyx also evaluates operational strength and risk, such as management depth, employee structure, scalability of systems, asset condition, and overall market positioning. Factors like customer concentration, competitive dynamics, industry trends, and comparable private-market transactions further influence value. Ultimately, valuations reflect how durable, transferable, and financeable the business will be for a new owner, not just past performance.

Determining the right selling price for your business involves understanding its market value and considering the interest of potential buyers. The Captyx business valuation calculator can provide you with a valuation range based on thousands of private sales and deep industry insights, helping to give you a clear picture of what businesses like yours might be worth. However, it’s important to remember that the final price of your business will ultimately depend on what a buyer is willing to offer.

Different types of buyers might value your business differently. Strategic buyers, for instance, often value businesses higher than institutional buyers because they are looking for synergies or assets that align with their existing operations, which could potentially yield greater returns for them. Therefore, they may be willing to pay a premium to acquire your company. Understanding these dynamics can help you set realistic expectations and strategize effectively when entering negotiations.

The Captyx team will help you determine a formula for “ACO,” or All Cash Offers. This means our models help to build a floor of expectations that can be raised using deal structure, owner financing, and earn-outs. 

Ultimately, your business can be sold for however much another party is willing to pay. Our job is to uncover and present the value so you sell for the most amount possible. 

Valuing a business is a complex process that takes into account a variety of factors to determine its worth. At Captyx, we utilize a sophisticated approach that considers financial performance, market conditions, industry trends, and comparable business sales. Our valuation tool leverages data from thousands of private sales and applies industry insights to provide a comprehensive valuation range.

To accurately assess the value of your business, we look at key financial metrics such as revenue, profit margins, and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). We also consider intangible assets like brand value, customer relationships, and market position. Our goal is to provide a detailed understanding of what your business could potentially be worth in the current market, helping you make informed decisions about selling or growing your business.

Most brokers focus on getting a listing and waiting for a buyer. Captyx focuses on increasing valuation and deal certainty by preparing businesses the way buyers actually want to see them. For over a decade, we worked behind the scenes with brokers, M&A advisors, and investment banks, handling valuations, deal prep, and go-to-market strategy. We know what works because we helped build the playbook.

We go beyond valuation by improving the four things buyers care about most: earnings, growth, operations, and sales and marketing. We also use a proprietary buyer feedback loop to turn “I’d buy this business if…” into actionable improvements that move deals forward.

We offer performance-based guarantees, avoid hiding behind long exclusivity agreements, and work with vetted buyers only. Most importantly, we are operators and entrepreneurs ourselves, not commission-only brokers.

In short, Captyx doesn’t just help you sell your business. We help you make it one buyers are confident saying yes to.

Yes. Captyx can sell your business, but we don’t just list it and wait.

We act as a full-scope M&A advisor, handling valuation, preparation, buyer sourcing, negotiation, diligence, and closing. Our focus is making your business sellable to real buyers by strengthening earnings, operations, growth, and sales and marketing before and during the sale process.

With experience valuing and preparing over 1,500 businesses and working behind the scenes for brokers, M&A advisors, and investment banks, we know what buyers look for and why deals fail. If your business is ready now, we can take it to market. If it needs improvement, we’ll show you exactly what to fix to increase value and deal certainty.
