New to this? What EBITDA and the multiple mean
You're working through the drivers that decide what a buyer pays. Money is in Australian dollars, and each dropdown is written in plain English, so pick the line that sounds most like you.
- Enter your normalised EBITDA and set a sector base multiple for a clean business in your industry.
- Work down the drivers. Each dropdown describes a real state of the business; choose the option that fits yours.
- Read the value range and the discount the weaker drivers are costing you.
- Normalised EBITDA
- Your annual operating profit after one-off and owner costs are added back: the earnings a buyer treats as the real, ongoing number.
- Sector multiple
- The times-profit a buyer pays for a clean business in your industry. Value is roughly EBITDA times this multiple, before the drivers adjust it up or down.
- The drivers
- Each dropdown is a value driver: a feature of the business (customer spread, owner reliance, recurring revenue and so on) that makes the earnings feel more or less certain, and so raises or lowers the multiple.

What's moving your number
A fixed-scope read of where your value actually sits, and what to fix first.
Illustrative only, and deliberately simplified: it reflects one buyer on one day, not a formal valuation. Real multiples vary by sector, buyer, deal structure and circumstance, and risk is rarely as additive as a calculator makes it look; a single severe issue can matter more than several small ones combined. Use it to see which drivers move your value most, then get specific advice on your own numbers. Not financial or valuation advice.
A tool shows you the shape. An assessment shows you the number.
This estimate is built to surface the questions worth answering. A Commercial Assessment answers them on your actual numbers: two to four weeks, fixed fee, a clear read of where value is being made and lost and what to fix first.
