How the valuation is calculated
Normalize the cash flow
Operating profit plus owner salary and personal costs gives seller's discretionary earnings.
Apply a multiple for your concept
Fine dining, casual, fast casual and quick service each trade at different multiples.
Adjust for your situation
Lease years remaining, equipment age, location and risk factors move the multiple up or down.
Show a range, not one number
Real sale prices depend on negotiation, terms and buyer fit, so you get a low and a high.

Compare plansCommon questions
Is this a certified appraisal?
No. It is a planning and negotiation tool, not a formal appraisal. For legal matters, estate planning or loans that require a certified appraisal, you will still need a licensed appraiser.
Why do you ask for my email?
It is your sign-in. Your report is saved to it, so you can start on a phone and finish at your desk. There is no password to set.
What does it cost?
The full calculator is free. Pro is $24.99 a month per calculator, or $249.99 a year, and you can cancel anytime.
Can I use this for an SBA loan?
The Pro report gives supporting valuation data you can share with a lender. Some lenders require a certified appraisal, so check with yours first.
