For owners of specialty trade contracting companies, $1 to 5M in earnings
What is your business worth, and what should you do with it?
Two numbers get you a rough range in a few minutes, on a method built for your trade. Then a straight plan: sell it well, or raise the number first.
See your range
Two numbers get you a rough range: your revenue, and what the business earns in a year.
Profit plus what you pay yourself, before tax.
What counts?
What the business earns in a year before you take it out: net profit, plus your own pay, plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Advisors call it EBITDA. A rough number is fine here. The Read walks you through the real one.
Enter your revenue and yearly earnings to see the range a buyer would pay.
Enter two numbers to see where you land.
An illustrative market range, not a formal valuation or financial advice.
Three things decide where you land in the range.
Profitability.
What it really earns, after the noise.
Predictability.
How steady next year’s money is.
Transferability.
Whether it runs, and sells, without you.
The number is the start. The plan is what you do with it.
Once you know what it is worth, there are two ways forward and we do both. Sell it through us, and we run the whole process. Or raise the number first, with specific work on the things holding it down, and sell later from a stronger position.
Everyone starts with a Seat. From there we build the value or run the sale, whichever the read says, and half your fees credit back when you sell.
Sometimes the read says the timing is wrong, or to wait. We will tell you that too.
See where you stand.
No pitch. See your number first, then decide if you want to talk.
