Business Valuation Tool  ·  For Business Owners

What is your business
actually worth to us?

Whether your books are clean or you run everything from memory, this tool estimates what we'd price your business at when we sit down for due diligence. Choose your situation below.

Step 1 — Tell us where you are

How do you currently manage your business finances?

Pick the description that fits. There's no wrong answer — both paths lead to a realistic valuation estimate.

Pre-SDE
Everything runs through one account. I know roughly what I make, but it's not written down anywhere clean.

Your cash is real. Your business is profitable. But your books are informal — you can't easily separate what the business earns from what you personally spend.

  • Single bank account for business and personal
  • No formal profit & loss statement
  • You estimate your income, not calculate it
  • A bookkeeper or accountant has never been involved
SDE
I have some records. I know my revenue and my main costs, even if it's from a spreadsheet or basic accounts.

Your finances are separated enough that you can tell us what comes in and what goes out. Records may be informal, but the numbers exist.

  • Separate business bank account (at least part of the time)
  • Basic bookkeeping, spreadsheet, or tax records
  • You can estimate annual revenue and major cost categories
  • Owner salary or drawings are identifiable
Pre-SDE Path — Conversational Estimate
We'll reconstruct your SDE from what you know

Answer as honestly as you can. Rough estimates are fine — that's the point of this path. We'll get the precise number together during due diligence.

Question 01
In a typical month, how much cash do you personally take home from this business?
Include everything: salary, cash withdrawals, personal bills paid from the business account. This is your monthly "take-home" in the broadest sense.
RM
Question 02
How much do you pay your staff every month — everyone except yourself?
Include wages, allowances, EPF/SOCSO contributions if you pay them. If you have no staff, enter 0.
RM
Question 03
What do you spend on supplies, stock, or materials to actually do the work — per month?
This is what you buy to fulfill orders or serve customers: raw materials, goods for resale, subcontractor payments, consumables. Not overheads.
RM
Question 04
What are your fixed monthly running costs — rent, utilities, phone, insurance, vehicle?
Combine all your recurring monthly overheads. Don't include your own drawings or staff wages (already covered above).
RM
Question 05
Roughly, how much does the business collect from customers in a typical month?
Don't stress about being exact. Give us your gut feel for monthly cash collected — if it varies, pick a normal month (not your best or worst).
RM
Question 06
Do you receive any cash from customers that doesn't go through your bank account?
Cash-in-hand payments, payments direct to your personal account, or payments you collect and use before banking — this is common and we don't judge it. But it's real income, and it adds to SDE.
No, everything goes through the bank
A small amount — less than RM1,000/month
Regularly — RM1,000–3,000/month
Significant — more than RM3,000/month
Question 07
How long has this business been operating?
Less than 3 years
3–7 years
8–14 years
15 years or more
Question 08
Who are your main customers?
Mostly other businesses (B2B)
Mix of businesses and individuals
Mostly individuals / public (B2C)
Question 09
If you were away for one month, what would happen to the business?
It would stop — I do everything
It would slow down significantly
It would mostly continue — staff can handle it
It would run fine without me
How we use this: We combine your monthly cash flows into an estimated annual SDE. Because the inputs are informal, we show a range rather than a single number. The actual figure gets refined when we go through your bank statements together during due diligence — which typically moves the number up, not down.

SDE Path — Structured Calculation
Build your SDE from your actual numbers

Use your most recent full 12 months. Estimates are fine — we verify everything during due diligence. Fill in what you know and leave the rest blank.

Step 1 — Revenue
What does the business collect?

Total cash received from customers over the past 12 months. If your records are rough, estimate conservatively.

Total collected from all customers — last 12 months
RM
Materials, stock, subcontractors, direct labour

Step 2 — Operating Expenses
Real costs of running the business

Exclude your own salary/drawings — we add those back in the next step. Include everything else: rent, staff, utilities, vehicle, insurance.

Marketing, fees, sundry — annual

Step 3 — Add-Backs
What runs through the business for your personal benefit?

Toggle on everything that applies. These items reduce your reported profit but won't be a cost for a new owner — so they add back into SDE.

Factors that shape the acquisition multiple

SDE tells us the earnings. These factors tell us where within 2×–4× the multiple lands. These come out during due diligence regardless.

This is your working estimate. The number we put in an LOI comes from in-person due diligence — which often confirms or improves this figure.

After the Calculator

What we do with
these numbers

This tool gives you a direction. The conversation that follows is where the real number is built.

01
You contact us
A short, confidential conversation — no broker, no pressure. We want to understand your situation. We operate under NDA from the first meeting as standard.
02
We verify the SDE together
We go through your bank statements with you and reconstruct the SDE properly. Most owners find their real SDE is higher than they estimated. Unrecorded cash is real cash.
03
We put an LOI on the table
If the numbers work, you get a Letter of Intent with a clear price, deal structure, and seller note terms. No ambiguity. We typically close within 60–90 days of first meeting.
