Business Valuation Calculator
Whether you're preparing to sell, bringing on a partner or simply planning ahead, it helps to know what your business is worth.

It's intended for owners who want a quick sense of where they stand before pursuing a formal valuation, so you can approach those next conversations better informed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Businesses are commonly valued using approaches such as a multiple of earnings (for example, EBITDA), the value of assets, or projected future cash flows. This calculator provides a general estimate based on the financial inputs you provide; a formal valuation typically involves a professional appraiser.
Owners seek a valuation for many reasons — preparing to sell, bringing on a partner or investor, succession and estate planning, or applying for financing. Knowing your approximate value helps you make informed decisions.
Earnings and cash flow, growth trends, industry conditions, customer concentration, recurring revenue, assets and liabilities, and the strength of your management team all influence value. For guidance on financing or growth, explore UMB business lending.
