What Is Your Business Worth?

Get a free, confidential evaluation with three distinct price points — not a vague range

Most online calculators give you a formula-based guess. Our evaluation is conducted by an M&A professional and a CPA with a financial valuation credential — using your actual financials.

  • Three price points: floor, most probable, and maximum
  • 9 out of 10 projects sell within 10% of the price we assign
  • Led by a Certified M&A Professional and CPA/CFVA team
  • No cost, no obligation — keep the evaluation even if you decide not to sell
  • Completely confidential — your employees, competitors, and customers won't know
  • Seller representation only — your interests come first

For businesses with $1M–$25M in revenue or $300K+ in cash flow.

Your Confidentiality Is Non-Negotiable

Your employees, customers, and competitors won't know you're considering an exit — selling your business or company — until you're ready to tell them.

NDA Before Details

Every buyer signs a nondisclosure agreement before learning your company name or seeing any financial information.

Blind Profile Marketing

We market your company using a blind profile — enough detail to attract serious buyers, without revealing who you are.

Buyer Qualification

We verify financial capability and serious intent before any buyer gets access to your company's details.

What You'll Actually Receive

Whether you're planning an exit this year or in three years, the evaluation is the first step. Everything starts with knowing your number.

An 11-page professional analysis prepared by a Certified M&A Professional and reviewed by our in-house CPA.

1

Revenue Trend Analysis

Sales by month with year-over-year comparison showing exactly where your business is heading — up, down, or flat.

2

Adjusted Cash Flow

Your true owner earnings (SDE) reconstructed from tax returns. This is the number buyers actually pay on — not top-line revenue.

3

Comparable Sales Research

Real transaction data from your industry showing what similar companies actually sold for, with multiples and price ranges.

4

30-Question Diagnostic

Risk, growth, demand, and competitiveness rated across 6 categories. Your strengths and weak spots, quantified — not guessed at.

5

Three Price Points

Rock bottom (your floor), Most Probable Sales Price (the planning number — we hit within 10% of this 9 out of 10 times), and Maximum Financeable under SBA terms.

6

Opportunity Score

An overall marketability rating that shows where your company stands relative to the market and what factors are helping or hurting your value.

85% of Business Owners Who Explore an Exit Aren't Ready to Sell Right Now

And that's actually the point.

Most owners discover things they didn't know — customer concentration that scares buyers, owner dependency that depresses value, documentation gaps that slow deals to a crawl. Whether you're selling a family business, a company you built from scratch, or one you acquired — finding these problems now, when you have time to fix them, is worth far more than finding them six months into a process when a buyer's due diligence team uses them to renegotiate your price.

That's why the evaluation is step one in any exit — before you talk to a single buyer, before you tell anyone, you need to know where you stand. The evaluation gives you that clarity whether you sell in six months or three years.

Founder & Managing Director

I built and sold my own software company over thirteen years — six letters of intent and a lot of lessons about what actually moves a deal forward. That experience is the foundation of everything we do at Arx.

I've helped owners exit across manufacturing, home services, biotech, software, and construction. Every company is different, but the process of getting a seller the best outcome is the same.

Before M&A advisory, I worked as a licensed auctioneer liquidating assets during the financial crisis — dozens of projects across the Northeast. That's where I learned how to run a competitive bid process and why it matters for getting top dollar.

I'm based in Bend, Oregon. CM&AP certified, with an in-house CPA and CFVA on the team. I also mentor business owners through SCORE.

Every evaluation that comes through this page is personally reviewed by me. Not a junior associate, not a call center. Your business gets my direct attention from day one.

We're Not the Right Fit If…

  • Your business does under $1M in annual sales and under $300K in cash flow
  • You want to list on a marketplace and hope for the best
  • You're not seriously considering a sale in the next 1–3 years

Common Questions

How do you keep the sale of my business confidential?
We require nondisclosure agreements and only share details with vetted, qualified buyers. Confidentiality is our top priority.
How do you figure out what my business is worth?
We analyze your adjusted cash flow and market comps, then weigh risk and growth factors to recommend a price range. We use a variety of methods depending on the nature of your business.
What does it cost to work with Arx Business Brokers?
There are no upfront fees. We’re paid a success fee at closing, aligned with getting you the best possible result.
How long does it usually take to sell a business?
Most sales close in 6–12 months. The timeline depends on your industry, financials, and how ready your documents are.
Who are the typical buyers for businesses like mine?
Buyers include private equity firms, strategic acquirers, competitors or individuals with financing. We target the right group for your business.
Why should I choose Arx over selling on my own?
We create competition among buyers, handle negotiations, and keep the process confidential—helping you maximize value while avoiding costly mistakes.
Why should I choose Arx over a traditional business broker?
Most brokers represent both buyers and sellers — which means divided loyalties when it matters most. Many have never built or sold a business themselves. And most rely on listing sites and waiting for inbound calls rather than actively finding buyers. Arx is seller-only — no buyer clients, ever. We actively reach out to 250+ qualified buyers per engagement instead of posting and hoping. We have an in-house CPA and CFVA on the team, and our principal built and sold his own company. That combination of experience, focus, and active marketing is what separates us from legacy brokers.
