What's my business worth? Start with a real range, not a guess
Most owner-operated businesses are worth a multiple of their normalized earnings. In the lower middle market, that typically means 3x to 8x Adjusted EBITDA, with the multiple set by size, growth, recurring revenue, customer concentration, financial quality, and how well the business runs without the owner.
Generic valuation calculators stop at the formula. FastTrak goes further: it builds your valuation range from Adjusted EBITDA and comparable transactions, then shows you the specific risks holding your multiple down, so you know both the number and what moves it.
- A valuation range calibrated to your industry, size, and financials
- The value drivers and risks behind the number, scored across 11 categories
- A GO / FIX / WAIT call so you know whether to sell now or build value first

Frequently Asked Questions
Is FastTrak really free?
Yes. FastTrak is completely free. There's no credit card, no setup, and no obligation to upgrade. You get the full 10-page Valuation & Exit Report at no cost.
How long does it take?
Under 5 minutes. It's a quick, structured intake covering your financials, operations, and exit posture. No document uploads are required, and your report is generated instantly.
What is the GO / FIX / WAIT recommendation?
It's a clear readiness call based on your assessment. GO means you're in a strong position to go to market. FIX means specific gaps are holding back your value and should be addressed first. WAIT means you'll get a meaningfully better outcome by building value before selling.
How accurate is the valuation range?
The range is built from Adjusted EBITDA and comparable transactions, calibrated to your industry, size, and financials. It's not a formal appraisal. It's a realistic picture of what buyers would actually pay, so you can avoid the overestimation most owners make going into a sale.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. Your detailed responses are confidential and never sold. You can opt in to share your readiness score and general business profile with qualified buyers, but that's your choice, not the default.
How do I find out what my business is worth?
Start with normalized earnings, usually Adjusted EBITDA, and apply a multiple that reflects your industry, size, growth, and risk. Most lower middle market businesses trade between 3x and 8x EBITDA. FastTrak runs this math for you in about 5 minutes and gives you a realistic range built from comparable transactions, free.
What multiple do businesses sell for?
Most owner-operated businesses in the lower middle market sell for 3x to 8x Adjusted EBITDA. Larger businesses with recurring revenue, diversified customers, and a management team that runs without the owner land at the top of the range. Smaller, owner-dependent, or concentrated businesses land at the bottom. The same business can move multiple turns of EBITDA with focused preparation.
Is FastTrak a business valuation calculator?
It does what a valuation calculator does and more. A calculator multiplies your earnings by an industry multiple. FastTrak builds a valuation range from Adjusted EBITDA and comparable transactions, then explains the number: an 11-category risk analysis, an Exit Score, and a GO / FIX / WAIT recommendation, delivered in a 10-page report.
What happens after I get my report?
That's up to you. Many owners work through the 30-day action plan on their own or share the report with their advisor. If you want structured help closing the gaps, ExitClarity Pro picks up where FastTrak leaves off with a free 7-day trial.
