Business Valuation Calculator 2026
This business valuation calculator estimates the value of your company using three industry-standard methods: EBITDA multiple, revenue multiple, and discounted cash flow (DCF). Enter revenue, EBITDA, growth rate and your sector; the tool returns a low/mid/high valuation range. Example: a Swiss services SME with CHF 4M revenue, CHF 600,000 EBITDA, 12% growth gets EBITDA × 6 = CHF 3.6M, Revenue × 1.2 = CHF 4.8M and DCF ≈ CHF 4.2M — a fair range of CHF 3.6M–4.8M. Multiples vary by sector: SaaS 6–12× EBITDA, Services 3–6×, Retail 2–4×, Manufacturing 4–7×. Use this as a starting point before formal valuation. Last updated June 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Which valuation method should I trust most?
For mature SMEs use EBITDA multiple. For high-growth SaaS use revenue multiple. DCF is best for stable cash-flow businesses. Triangulate all three.
What EBITDA multiple is typical?
Services 3–6×, Retail 2–4×, Manufacturing 4–7×, SaaS 6–12×, Healthcare 5–8×. Higher growth and recurring revenue push the multiple up.
Should I add a control premium?
Yes — for a 100% acquisition, add 20–30% on top of the standalone valuation to reflect control rights.
What is the illiquidity discount?
Private SME shares can't be sold instantly like listed stocks. Apply a 20–30% discount versus a comparable listed multiple.
Is this a formal valuation?
No. This is a fast estimate. For M&A, audits or tax purposes, hire a fiduciary or chartered valuer.
