free business valuation

Free business valuation before buyers set the anchor.

Estimate a defensible value range for your company in minutes. The Hello Exit calculator compares multiple valuation methods, applies buyer-style risk adjustments, and gives you a practical starting point with no email gate.

Built for founders and owners who want a first read before a broker, buyer, or banker frames the conversation.
Why it matters

A free valuation should still be grounded in how buyers think.

Many free valuation tools multiply revenue by a generic number and call it done. That is not how a serious buyer thinks. A useful free business valuation connects your revenue, profit, growth, risk, recurring revenue, customer concentration, and transferability into a range you can actually discuss.

What you get

A fast estimate with the context behind it.

A valuation range

See a low, mid, and high enterprise-value range instead of a single fragile number.

Multiple methods

Compare ARR multiple, EBITDA multiple, SDE multiple, and revenue multiple outputs side by side.

Buyer-style modifiers

Account for growth, margin, concentration, recurring revenue mix, founder dependence, and market timing.

Next-step clarity

Understand which inputs would tighten the range and which levers could improve buyer confidence.

How it works

Answer the core questions buyers ask first.

The calculator starts with the inputs most likely to change value. If you do not have perfect numbers, use your best estimate and treat the output as a directional first pass.

Important context

Free does not mean final. It means useful enough to start.

A calculator cannot see every buyer, synergy, tax issue, contract risk, or diligence surprise. It can help you avoid walking into a conversation with no anchor at all.

What makes the range useful

  • Works best for directional enterprise value, not tax or legal advice
  • Gives more useful output when inputs are recent and normalized
  • Can be paired with a confidential Hello Exit read when timing gets serious
  • Points you toward the factors buyers are most likely to question
FAQ

Questions owners ask before using a free valuation tool.

Is the business valuation really free?

Yes. The core valuation range is shown on screen without requiring an email address. If you want a deeper written review, you can choose to share more context.

How accurate is a free business valuation?

It is best treated as a directional range. Accuracy depends on the quality of your inputs, the fit of the valuation method, current buyer appetite, and deal-specific factors that a calculator cannot fully know.

What numbers should I have ready?

Recent revenue, EBITDA or net income, gross margin, growth rate, recurring revenue mix, and customer concentration are the most useful inputs. Estimates are acceptable for a first pass.

Is this only for SaaS companies?

No. The calculator supports SaaS, services, agencies, e-commerce, marketplaces, and many founder-led businesses. SaaS companies may lean more heavily on ARR multiples, while other businesses may lean more on EBITDA or SDE.

Will this replace a formal valuation?

No. It is a practical starting point for planning and buyer conversations. Formal valuations, fairness opinions, tax work, and legal advice may be needed depending on the situation.
