Review the assumptions behind the result.

  • Adjusted EBITDA is used as the core maintainable earnings measure.
  • The DCF check projects earnings growth and discounts future cashflow.
  • The result is a planning range, not a formal valuation.

Turn the output into a practical next step.

  • Use conservative multiples for small or owner-dependent businesses.
  • Test whether the DCF value supports the earnings multiple.
  • Separate operating value from debt and surplus assets before discussing price.
