What is your business worth — with the real estate?

Most owners value the business or the building — never both, and never how they interact. Enter your earnings and your property to see enterprise value, real estate value, the combined total, and the sale-leaseback option most business brokers miss.

Estimated combined value — business + real estate

Why both numbers matter. If you own your building, its "rent" is hidden in your earnings — normalize it to market and the business multiple moves. And the property is a separate asset you can sell with the business, sell separately, or keep and lease back to the buyer. Valuing the two together — and knowing how they interact — is where a real estate broker who also thinks like an operator earns their keep. Real estate is the anchor; an operator and investor background just makes the read sharper.

A planning estimate on simplified assumptions — not a business appraisal, security, or investment advice. Real value depends on add-backs, growth, risk, deal terms, and market conditions.

Frequently asked

How do you value a small business?

A common shortcut is a multiple of earnings — annual EBITDA (or seller’s discretionary earnings) times an industry multiple, often roughly 2x–5x for small and lower-middle-market companies. It’s a starting range, not a formal valuation; add-backs, growth, customer concentration, and the real estate all move it.

How does owned real estate change my business’s value?

If your company owns the building it operates in, the business’s earnings are usually understated or overstated because there’s no true market rent in the P&L. Normalizing to market rent changes EBITDA — and therefore the multiple-based price. Separately, the real estate itself is a distinct asset with its own value. This tool shows both so you see the full picture.

What is a sale-leaseback and why would I do it at exit?

In a sale-leaseback you sell the operating business but keep the real estate, then lease it back to the buyer at market rent. You collect the business sale proceeds now and keep the building as an income-producing asset you still own — often more total value than bundling the property into the business sale.
