MultiplesBook answers

Every answer below is aimed at a question people measurably search for, is written from named sources, and links to the page that handles the job itself. None of them is a landing page in disguise.

The answers here are the questions an owner, a buyer or a founder asks while doing their own valuation arithmetic: how a dental, medical, veterinary, advisory, HVAC, plumbing, construction, restaurant, retail, service, healthcare, SaaS or software business is valued from its own earnings at the multiple they enter; how a startup's round becomes a pre-money and a post-money; how seller's discretionary earnings and EBITDA are calculated and which one the multiple is applied to; what fair market value asks of the inputs; what a valuation report and a checklist have to hold. Each one hands off to the free tool that does its arithmetic, with no account, and none of them publishes a multiple.
