What is my business worth?
Most owners do not know what their business is worth, and many are surprised. One client expected $700,000. Vee sold their business for $1.2 million, about 71% more.
Your valuation is based on your real financials, your industry and current Southwest Florida market data. It is an educational estimate, not a guaranteed price.
How valuation works
Most small businesses use SDE, or Seller Discretionary Earnings, times a multiple. Vee calculates your SDE, finds the right multiple for your industry, and adjusts for your market. On completion you see a directional range, then the full valuation and three things that would raise your value follow by email and a private call.
Estimates are educational only, based on public market data and your inputs. They are not a guarantee of sale price.

Business valuation questions
What is my business worth in Naples and Fort Myers, FL?
Most small businesses are valued using Seller Discretionary Earnings, or SDE, times a multiple. Vee gives you a free, confidential valuation based on your real numbers and current Southwest Florida market data. You get an honest estimate, with no cost and no obligation, and she signs an NDA before you share any numbers.
What is an SDE multiple?
SDE stands for Seller Discretionary Earnings, which is your profit plus your owner salary and add backs. The multiple is what buyers pay per dollar of SDE, and small businesses often sell for 2 to 4 times SDE. Your industry, revenue and growth all affect your number, and Vee finds the right multiple for your business.
Is the free business valuation really free?
Yes. There is no cost and no obligation for your valuation. Vee signs an NDA before you share any numbers, so your information stays 100 percent confidential. You are free to walk away at any time, and there is no pressure to list.
How accurate is a small business valuation calculator?
A calculator gives an educational estimate, not a final number. A real valuation from Vee uses your actual financials, your industry and the current Southwest Florida market. It is an estimate to guide you, not a guaranteed sale price, and Vee explains the difference in plain language.
What is the difference between SDE and EBITDA?
SDE includes your owner salary and add backs, while EBITDA does not. Smaller businesses usually sell on an SDE multiple, while larger businesses and manufacturing often sell on an EBITDA multiple. Vee uses the right measure for your business size and industry.
Do I have to share my tax returns to get a valuation?
Not for a first directional estimate. You can get a range from the survey using your revenue and profit ranges. For a full valuation, Vee reviews your actual financials under NDA, so your numbers stay private until you are ready to move forward.
