Use summary figures only. Do not enter Social Security numbers, bank account details, customer names, or other sensitive identifying information. See the Privacy Policy before submitting information.

A starting point—not a final selling price.

ValuTrek uses multiples derived from actual sold businesses to provide a preliminary indication based on your entries.

Even two restaurants in the same neighborhood serving similar food can sell for different prices. A broker’s review considers relevant sales within your industry and how your earnings, lease, staffing, customer relationships, and owner involvement affect those comparisons.

Understanding SDE and EBITDA

Revenue, net income, SDE, and EBITDA are different measures. Entering the wrong figure can materially change an estimate.

Seller’s Discretionary Earnings

SDE · Often used for owner-operated businesses

This calculator asks for SDE. It generally begins with net income before income taxes and adds one working owner’s compensation and eligible adjustments.

  • Interest, depreciation, and amortization
  • Supported discretionary expenses
  • Documented nonrecurring expenses, when appropriate

Adjustments must be supportable. Do not add an expense twice or assume every personal expense qualifies.

Adjusted EBITDA

A different basis for certain businesses

For businesses with established management, a review may use adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

Replacement management costs and the owner’s role may need to be considered. EBITDA should not simply be entered as SDE.

Where do the valuation multiples come from?

The multiples used by ValuTrek are derived from actual sold businesses. Sales within an industry provide a reference point. A broker must assess how differences between those businesses and yours affect the comparison.

What happens after I calculate my estimate?

After you select Calculate My Estimate, you’ll be asked for your name and email (company and phone are also requested) and to confirm that you agree to receive your report by email. You then see your preliminary estimated value and range on screen, and the same estimate is emailed to you. A copy of your submission, including your contact details, the figures you entered and the result, is also sent to Aniss Cherkaoui, P.A. The estimate is calculated from the information you enter and predefined industry and adjustment factors. See the Privacy Policy for how submitted information is handled.

Does this include inventory, equipment, real estate, or debt?

The calculator does not ask about inventory, equipment, real estate, or debt, and its estimate is based on the earnings and other information you enter. Treatment of these items depends on the proposed transaction. Do not automatically add equipment or inventory to an earnings-based estimate; doing so may count the same value twice. Confirm real estate, debt, cash, and working capital treatment in a detailed review.

Is the result the amount I would receive at closing?

No. An estimated business value is not net sale proceeds. Debt repayment, transaction costs, taxes, working capital adjustments, and the timing or structure of payments can affect what a seller receives.

Is my information confidential?

Review the website’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for information about data use. Enter summary figures only and avoid sensitive identifying details. Contact Aniss to arrange an appropriate method before sharing financial statements or confidential business documents.

Can I use this for tax, legal, or lending purposes?

No. This tool is an automated preliminary estimate, not a formal appraisal or a report prepared for those purposes. Ask the relevant professional what type of valuation or documentation your situation requires.
