Valuation tool
What is my business actually worth?
Value is adjusted EBITDA times a multiple. Most owners get the first half wrong — the number on your P&L is not the number a buyer will use. This shows both halves, and exactly which factors are moving your multiple up or down.

Recurring revenue is your cheapest lever. Moving from 15% to 30% under contract would add roughly $560K of enterprise value at your current EBITDA — without selling a single additional job.
Illustrative only — not an appraisal, offer, or guarantee of value. Real multiples are set by diligence, customer concentration, fleet and property treatment, working capital pegs, and market conditions at the time of sale. Two businesses with identical EBITDA routinely clear very different numbers. Use this to understand which levers matter, not to price a transaction.
