Understanding your estimate

How to use the business valuation calculator

Prepare consistent financial information and use your result as a starting point for a company specific review.

What information should I have ready?

Have your recent income statements and details of owner compensation, benefits and unusual expenses available. Use the period requested by each field and consistent dollar amounts. Identify potential adjustments separately so they can be reviewed rather than counted twice.

How should I interpret my estimated value?

The calculator provides an indicative range based on the information entered and its assumptions. It is a planning tool. A transaction review also considers earnings quality, comparable businesses, buyer demand and deal terms. The estimate should not be treated as an offer or a guaranteed sale price.

What can move my business value higher or lower?

Consider revenue durability, customer concentration, growth, margins, management depth and dependence on the owner. Clear financial reporting and transferable customer relationships help buyers assess the business. Explore what makes a company buyable and business valuation and market positioning.

Does the estimate equal my cash proceeds at closing?

Business value and owner proceeds can differ. Debt, cash, working capital, retained assets, transaction expenses, taxes and deferred payments depend on the agreed transaction structure. Discuss these items when evaluating a proposed sale.

When should I seek a deeper valuation review?

A deeper review is useful when preparing for a sale, evaluating an acquisition or planning succession. Our business valuation and exit planning services connect financial analysis with transaction readiness. Northeastern Advisors is based in New York and serves owners and acquirers nationwide.
