Reports → Business Valuation.
Where the numbers come from
Your books. Revenue, cost of sales, operating expenses, assets and debts are summed straight from the chart of accounts for the period you pick — last twelve months, this year, or last year. Nothing to type.
Interest, income tax and depreciation are taken back out of operating expenses, because EBITDA means earnings before those. Press Show what was left out of EBITDA to see exactly which accounts and how much.
The two things you have to tell it
What you pay yourself, and any personal cost the business carries. Both get added back, because a buyer is measuring what the business earns for its owner, not what is left after the owner is paid. These are judgements — which salary line is yours, which trip was personal — so the app asks rather than guesses.
The five methods
A method that comes out at zero is dropped and the rest are re-weighted. A business making a loss gets valued on revenue and assets rather than being dragged to nothing.
The multiples are the answer
They start from your industry, using published small-business benchmarks, and they are sliders because they are assumptions rather than facts. Move them and the figure moves. That is the useful part: you can see what raising your margin two points would do to the value of the business before deciding whether to chase it.
What it is not
It is a preliminary estimate, not a certified appraisal. Selling the business, borrowing against it, a divorce or a tax filing all need a certified valuation from a CVA, ABV or ASA. The disclaimer saying so appears on the screen and in anything you export — that is deliberate and it is not removable.
