Estimated value range
Exit On My Own provides a comparative analysis based on public comparable sales and industry multiples. This is not a certified business appraisal or valuation. Consult a licensed appraiser before relying on any number for tax, legal, or financing decisions.
How we calculated this
- SDE
- $285,000
- Industry multiple range
- 2.2x – 3x
- Your applied multiple
- 2.6x
- Range applied
- $627,000 – $855,000
You sit mid-range because of strong recurring revenue (38% of top-line) and zero customer concentration. Owner involvement keeps you out of the high band.

Realism check
We see a lot of owners price their business at 4–5x because they hear those multiples in the news. For a business this size, the market reality is closer to 2.5–3x. Pricing too high is the #1 reason businesses don't sell.
