How does the Emerge Valuation Calculator derive the value of a business?
The Emerge valuation calculator determines a “ballpark” valuation of your business based on what businesses like yours have sold for recently. The data that fuels our calculator comes from Mergerstat, the premier provider of middle-market transaction multiples. The use of actual transaction multiples to value a business is one of the most effective valuation techniques. Other site calculators sometimes charge users hundreds of dollars and will often base their calculations on “ask” prices or industry ratios rather than actual transaction multiples. Obviously, our calculator can’t be as accurate as a professional valuation. Professional valuations consider a variety of factors beyond the scope of any Internet device and may use multiple valuation techniques. Your company’s value may change over time and we encourage you to check your valuation frequently.
