💰 How to Value a Small Business: 5 Proven Methods

The owner says their business is worth $2 million. They're wrong—and this guide shows you exactly how to prove it. Most buyers negotiate on gut feel, but smart buyers use the five valuation methods that SBA lenders actually care about. The guide reveals the critical disconnect that kills deals: sellers value on future projections while lenders only look at historical tax returns (and require 1.25-1.5x debt service coverage).

You'll learn the calculation that matters most and discover why the real valuation happens in the adjustments—one factor alone can swing value by 20%. The guide shows you how to triangulate three methods, weight them properly, and use the result as your negotiation anchor in a market where businesses list 10-20% above fair value. Because knowing the real number—and being able to prove it—is the difference between overpaying and stealing a deal.
