Yes. The IMERGEA Business Valuation Tool provides a free indicative estimate based on your financial inputs, sector and geography. It is an analytical starting point, not a fairness opinion or guaranteed transaction price.
Six industry-standard methods: EBITDA Multiple (primary M&A metric), Revenue Multiple (useful for high-growth businesses), DCF (discounts future free cash flows to present value), Asset-Based NAV (assets minus liabilities), Market Comparables (P/E and P/S of listed peers, discounted ~30% for private status), and Liquidation Floor (forced-sale asset recovery). The consensus corridor is the average of the four going-concern methods ±15%.
SME EBITDA multiples typically range from 3× to 8×, versus 6–15× for listed companies. The gap reflects illiquidity, key-person risk and customer concentration. Technology and healthcare command the highest multiples (6–12×); construction and retail the lowest (3–5×). Growth rate, customer retention, IP strength and geography all adjust the base multiple in this tool.
The tool computes enterprise value (EV) the total value of the business including debt. To get equity value (what shareholders receive at closing), subtract net debt: Equity Value = EV − Total Debt + Cash. In M&A negotiations, price is almost always quoted as EV; the debt/cash adjustment happens at closing.
Geography adjusts the going-concern methods via a regional premium reflecting buyer universe depth and comparable transaction exit multiples: North America +25%, Europe +20%, Asia +15%, Middle East / Japan +10%, Africa 0% (base). The liquidation value is deliberately excluded from this premium forced-sale asset recovery is determined by local physical asset markets, not M&A market conditions.
Debt/Assets (total liabilities ÷ total assets) measures what proportion of the business is funded by creditors vs. equity. Below 25% is conservative; 25–45% is typical for most sectors; above 55% signals elevated risk. Buyers use it to assess deal structure: a high ratio shrinks the buyer pool (fewer can afford the acquisition), compresses multiples and often triggers seller financing requests. This tool benchmarks your Debt/Assets against your sector peers and flags excess leverage as a valuation risk.
This tool provides an indicative range based on aggregated sector data and the inputs you provide. It does not replace a formal advisory valuation, which includes normalised EBITDA analysis, quality-of-earnings review, management interviews and buyer-specific adjustments. Treat the output as a data-informed starting point , useful for board discussions, shareholder alignment and preliminary M&A positioning.
