What is my business worth?
Your business is worth a planning range, not one napkin number. For most Main Street owner-operated companies, that range starts from earnings quality (often SDE) and buyer risk — including owner dependence — then gets cross-checked with other methods. ValuRight Free Preview estimates that range in about 15 minutes. It is a software-generated planning estimate for owners 55+, not a certified appraisal or a guaranteed sale price.
See a planning range, a Health Score for what may be holding the number down, and what-if scenarios — useful homework before you talk to a CPA or broker.

Why the number feels wrong
Many owners are surprised when a buyer's view is lower than “what I think it's worth.” A common reason is owner dependence — if you are the rainmaker and the playbook lives in your head, buyers discount the price or demand a longer transition. ValuRight's Health Score surfaces that risk early.
SDE, EBITDA, revenue, DCF, asset-based, comps, and cap rate where it fits. Details: Methodology.

FAQ
No. It is a software-generated planning estimate to help you understand a range and value drivers before you talk to a CPA, broker, or appraiser.
About 15 minutes if you have recent financials handy.
Small-business owners — especially owners 55+ planning the next chapter — not Wall Street models.
Owner-operated Main Street businesses usually start with Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE). Businesses that can run with hired management lean more on EBITDA. ValuRight shows both in context. More: SDE explained.
Free Preview runs seven valuation methods appropriate to your business category, then blends a headline planning range with confidence notes. Methods are shown for context; this page does not publish secret “weights.” Risk and quality factors (including owner involvement) can shift multiples within industry bands. See Methodology.

Earnings base and quality (often SDE for owner-operated shops), owner dependence / owner hours, customer concentration, documentation and management depth, recurring or repeatable revenue where it fits, and consistent financial history. Garbage in, garbage out — review odd add-backs with your CPA.
Free Preview is homework: a planning range, Health Score, and what-if scenarios so you walk into advisor conversations with clearer questions. It does not replace a CPA, broker, attorney, or certified appraisal when a formal opinion or deal process requires one.
