Business Valuation Football Field Chart

No single valuation method is right. Investment bankers present a range across several, side by side, and let the overlap tell the real story. This builds that exact chart from your numbers.

How To Use This Chart

Enter EBITDA and revenue, and adjust the multiple ranges for each valuation methodology.

Each bar shows the low-to-high valuation range that methodology implies. Where the bars overlap is typically where a real negotiated price ends up landing.

Your Inputs

Annual EBITDA $2,000,000

Annual Revenue $8,000,000

DCF-Implied Multiple, Low 5.5x

DCF-Implied Multiple, High 8.5x

Precedent Transaction Multiple, Low 7.0x

Precedent Transaction Multiple, High 11.0x

Default multiple ranges are illustrative starting points for a lower-middle-market private business. Adjust them to reflect actual comparable data for your specific industry and size before relying on the output.

Valuation Range By Methodology

This is an illustrative framework, not a formal business valuation. A qualified valuator applies detailed comparable company and transaction analysis specific to your industry, size, and growth profile, which can meaningfully shift these ranges.
