What a business valuation gives you
A business valuation establishes what your company is actually worth in the current market, and just as importantly, why. Mava produces clear, defensible valuations that hold up with buyers, lenders, investors and partners.
We go beyond a single rule-of-thumb multiple, triangulating several methods and the factors that genuinely move value in your industry.
What is included
- EBITDA and SDE multiple analysis
- Discounted cash flow (DCF) modeling
- Comparable transaction and market analysis
- Asset-based valuation where relevant
- Value-driver and risk assessment
- A clear written summary you can act on
How it works
Discovery
We learn the business, its financials and your goal for the valuation.
Analysis
We apply multiple methods and benchmark against comparable sales.
Review
We walk you through the range and the drivers behind it.
Next steps
We connect the value to your sale, exit or capital plans.
Why it matters
Owners routinely over- or under-estimate what their business is worth, and both are costly. A grounded valuation lets you price a sale correctly, plan an exit, settle a partnership or approach lenders from a position of fact.

Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate what my business is worth?
We combine EBITDA or SDE multiples, discounted cash flow and comparable sales, then weigh them against the specific value drivers and risks in your business and industry.
Is the online calculator the same as a full valuation?
No. The calculator gives a fast estimate range. A full valuation is advisor-led, examines your actual financials and produces a defensible figure.
What is EBITDA and why does it matter?
EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, a common proxy for operating cash flow. Many businesses are valued as a multiple of EBITDA or SDE.
How can I increase my business's value before selling?
Clean financials, reduced owner dependence, diversified customers and documented systems all raise value. Our valuation flags the specific drivers to focus on.
