Behind the tool

Built by Business Brokerage Professionals, Not Just Software

InstantBusinessValue.com exists because owners wanted clarity before committing to a listing agreement, formal appraisal, or long-term exit plan.

We work with owners who are planning retirement, expansion, partner buyouts, and strategic exits.

Our approach mirrors how buyers and lenders actually evaluate opportunities: cash flow, risk, growth, systems, and market comps — not just a single rule-of-thumb multiple.

Whether you choose to keep your valuation private or take the next step, you stay in control of what happens next.

What this means for you:

  • Valuations designed to reflect real-world buyer and lender expectations.
  • Clear, practical takeaways instead of dense appraisal jargon.
  • Optional broker guidance if you move toward a sale.
  • A tool built specifically for established main street and lower middle-market businesses.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a formal business appraisal?
No. InstantBusinessValue.com provides a market-based estimate using commonly accepted valuation methods. It is not a certified appraisal and should not be used for legal, tax, or divorce matters without further review.
How accurate is the valuation?
The estimate is meant to be a realistic starting point. Actual sale price depends on timing, buyer demand, financing, and the specifics of your business. Many owners use this as a first step before seeking a more detailed opinion of value.
Who sees my information?
Your answers are confidential and used only to generate your valuation and follow up with you if requested. Your data is not sold to lead lists or marketing databases.
Do I have to sell my business if I use the tool?
No. Many owners use the valuation strictly for planning and never pursue a sale. Any next steps are completely optional.
What does it cost?
The online valuation is free. If you choose to request more detailed analysis or representation for a sale, fees are discussed clearly before you sign anything.
