Normalized EBITDA
Operating profit without one-off or personal expenses. It is the basis of almost every valuation.
What is your company worth?
You do not need to know to get started. Registration asks for ranges, and if you do not know where to begin, our team works the numbers out with you.
What moves the price
Growth
A company growing steadily is worth more than one standing still.
Debt
What the buyer takes on comes off the price.
Reliance on the owner
The better the company runs without you, the easier it is to sell.
Customer concentration
Relying on a few customers raises the risk for whoever buys.
Recurring revenue
Contracts and returning customers are worth more than one-off sales.
Sector and country risk
Two identical companies are worth different amounts depending on where they operate and how stable the industry is.
How much you offer
Selling control is not valued the same as a minority stake.

Illustrative example
Normalised EBITDA
Operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, cleaned of one-off or personal expenses. It is the basis of almost every valuation.
How it is calculatedRevenue × margin
Raises it
- Separating the owner’s personal expenses
- Adjusting costs that will not recur
Lowers it
- Mixing personal and company finances
- Hidden costs the buyer will find
Move the example
The numbers are an example to explain the method, not a valuation. The real multiple depends on the sector, size, country and the state of the market.
