Valuation Multiples — Yours or ValuAdder's
Use your own market data—or ValuAdder's built-in multiples—to calculate market-based business valuations with full transparency and control.
If you have access to business sale databases, business brokers, or in-house M&A data, you can enter your own valuation multiples directly into the Market Comps tool and generate valuation results based on your selected comparables.
- Enter your own valuation multiples using the Valuation Multiples Editor
- ValuAdder calculates business value based on each individual multiple
- ValuAdder also automatically aggregates results into a single overall indicated value
- View all results plotted on a clear comparison graph
- Don't have your own multiples? No worries—ValuAdder also comes with a set of built-in multiples.
The Multiples Maker™ tool lets you import comparable transaction data from virtually any source, map and normalize your data, and generate valuation multiples in seconds. Outliers are automatically identified and handled, helping ensure accurate and reliable results. See Multiples Maker™ in action.
Once created, your valuation multiples flow directly into the Market Comps tool, where ValuAdder calculates business value, summarizes results at a glance, and presents everything visually for easy comparison.
