Template

Assess the sale readiness and likely value range of the small business described in {business_details}. Work in order: (1) Normalize earnings: start from reported profit, add back owner salary above market replacement cost, personal expenses run through the business, and one-time items — arriving at seller's discretionary earnings (SDE) or adjusted EBITDA, and state which convention you're using and why size dictates it. (2) Identify value drivers and detractors: customer concentration, owner dependence, recurring versus project revenue, documented processes, lease transferability. (3) Apply the market multiple range for this business type and size to the normalized earnings, positioning within the range using step 2's findings. (4) Adjust for assets conveyed: inventory at cost, equipment condition, working capital expectations. (5) List the three fixable issues that would most raise the multiple, with realistic timelines. (6) Present the value range with the caveat that a broker or valuation professional should confirm before a transaction.
