What is your Michigan business actually worth?
Defensible, market-based valuations grounded in recast financials and Michigan transaction comparables.
How we value private Michigan businesses
Our valuations begin with a thorough recasting of historical financials — normalizing owner compensation, discretionary expenses, and non-recurring items to arrive at a true picture of earnings power.
From there, we apply industry-appropriate multiples (SDE for owner-operator businesses, EBITDA for management-run companies) calibrated to recent Michigan transaction data within the same sector and size range.
The result is a valuation range a buyer, lender, and the market will support — not an aspirational number.
Seller's Discretionary Earnings, used for owner-operator businesses under ~$1M EBITDA.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for management-run businesses.
Recent Michigan transactions in the same industry, size, and revenue band.
Used for asset-heavy or distressed scenarios.
