Discover What Your Florida Business Could Sell For — Instantly and Confidentially

Get a fast, accurate estimate of your company’s Most Probable Selling Price (MPSP) using verified Florida business sales data.

Created by Aniss Cherkaoui, M&A Advisor at Transworld Business Advisors, the ValuTrek™ Business Valuation Calculator helps owners understand their market value, prepare for sale, and plan a confident exit.

How the MPSP Business Valuation Calculator Works

ValuTrek™ uses a data-driven MPSP (Most Probable Selling Price) model, the same approach trusted by certified brokers and SBA lenders, to give you a realistic market range.

1) Real Market Comparables
We analyze verified Florida business sales within your industry to establish value benchmarks.
2) Performance-Based Multipliers
Your financial inputs such as revenue, SDE, growth rate, and customer mix are applied to accurate industry multiples.
3) Buyer Perspective Simulation
Our algorithm adjusts for real-world buyer behavior, including management strength, financing feasibility, and perceived risk.
4) Personalized Insights
Get your estimated value instantly and learn how specific factors like growth, customer concentration, and owner involvement impact your price multiple.

Before you see your estimated range, please note that the ValuTrek™ calculation provides an excellent starting point, not a final determination of value. Every business is unique, and several other factors can influence the final number. Your location, the ease of ownership transfer, financing availability, and your desired timeline for selling can all significantly affect what buyers are ultimately willing to pay.

Business Valuation Methods Explained

When it comes to determining what a business is worth, several valuation models can be used. However, not all of them fit small to mid-sized Florida companies. Here’s how they compare and why the Most Probable Selling Price (MPSP) method is often the most practical approach.

1) Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
This method projects future income and discounts it back to its present value. While it works well for large, predictable corporations, it tends to be less reliable for smaller businesses with fluctuating earnings or limited forecasting data.
2) Asset-Based Valuation
This approach determines value by adding up the tangible assets of a company, such as equipment, property, or inventory, and subtracting liabilities. It’s useful for manufacturing or capital-intensive firms but often undervalues service-based or relationship-driven businesses where goodwill and recurring revenue play a major role.
3) Most Probable Selling Price (MPSP)
The MPSP method is based on verified Florida business sales and actual buyer behavior. It takes into account both tangible and intangible factors—earnings, management strength, customer concentration, and growth potential—to estimate what buyers are most likely to pay in today’s market.

Unlike purely financial models, the MPSP approach reflects how deals are negotiated in the real world. It’s the method most often used by professional business brokers, SBA lenders, and valuation experts because it aligns closely with current market conditions and buyer expectations.

Why the MPSP Approach Matters

The MPSP approach gives business owners a realistic, data-driven estimate of market value. Unlike DCF or asset-based methods, it reflects actual buyer behavior, SDE, and market comparables, ensuring a fair, market-aligned price.

Businesses valued using MPSP attract serious buyers, close faster, and achieve better terms. It provides clarity, confidence, and a practical view of your company’s worth.

The MPSP method delivers a realistic, market-aligned valuation, helping you attract buyers and achieve stronger sale terms.

Business Valuation FAQ

Answers to the most common questions business owners ask before valuing or selling their business.

The calculator uses verified Florida business sale data and the Most Probable Selling Price (MPSP) model, the same framework professional brokers and lenders rely on. While it provides a strong and realistic starting point, the only way to know how accurate it truly is for your business is to have a deeper look at your financials, operations, and growth potential. That’s why a personal consultation with Aniss Cherkaoui, P.A. is recommended after you receive your estimate.

Your earnings, customer concentration, management strength, and growth trends play major roles. Other important factors include location, ease of ownership transfer, financing eligibility, and your desired timeline for selling. These elements often determine whether you achieve an average price or a premium sale.

You can use the ValuTrek™ result as a reliable reference when discussing opportunities with brokers, lenders, or advisors. However, official SBA loans or legal proceedings require a certified valuation or formal appraisal. Consider this calculator a strong first step toward understanding your market-based value before working directly with Aniss Cherkaoui, P.A. for a detailed review.

Once you have your estimated range, the next step is to review it with Aniss Cherkaoui, P.A. During a confidential discussion, he’ll help you interpret your results, identify value drivers, and outline strategies to improve your company’s market appeal before listing.

Buyers reward stability and scalability. Improving financial documentation, reducing reliance on the owner, building recurring contracts, and diversifying your customer base can significantly increase your value multiple. A consultation with Aniss Cherkaoui, P.A. can help pinpoint exactly which changes will have the most impact.

Knowing your business’s value helps you plan ahead. It allows you to track progress, prepare for financing, attract investors, and strengthen your position before it’s time to sell. Many top-performing business owners check their valuation annually as part of their growth strategy.

The calculator provides an estimate, but identifying where your real value lies requires a closer review with Aniss Cherkaoui, P.A.

For businesses at that level, a personalized valuation is highly recommended.
