An analytical engine for business brokers and M&A advisors. Six independent data sources, more than 400 NAICS codes, and a methodology trail you can defend in any conversation — with a seller, a buyer, or a lender.
QuickVal isn't a single-purpose calculator. It's the analytical layer underneath three workflows that take up most of a broker's week.
Now in twenty minutes — with a defensible methodology trail behind every number.
The questions a sophisticated business owner expects you to answer — before they ask.
The financing and structuring math that decides whether the deal actually closes.
Name, industry, location, website. QuickVal preloads market multiples from your NAICS code.
AI researches the industry, local market, and the business's web presence — first-meeting talking points included.
Up to five years of revenue, net income, and add-backs. Weighted SDE and EBITDA calculated automatically.
28 quality factors across 8 categories. Your scoring adjusts the multiple up or down by up to ±25%.
Review the MPSP, run reasonableness and debt-service checks, export your PDF report.
A single comp doesn't make a valuation. QuickVal blends six independent industry datasets into a confidence-weighted composite multiple, then adjusts for your subject company.
Each source contributes a calibrated weight based on sample size, transaction recency, and relevance to the subject company's revenue band. Where sources disagree, the report shows you why — and the confidence interval widens accordingly.
No source dominates. No source is hidden. The result is a number you can defend in front of a sophisticated buyer or seller.
Real closed-deal multiples across more than 400 industries and seven revenue bands.
Independent survey data covering deal pricing across SMB and lower-middle-market segments.
Government and tax-authority sector profiles, used to position the subject company's profitability against the industry distribution.
WACC, total-beta, and EV/EBITDA reference data by sector for upper-range plausibility checks.
Industry-association deal stats and quarterly market-pulse data for sector-level momentum context.
28 quality factors across financial health, owner dependency, customer concentration, growth, competitive position, and more.
QuickVal does the analysis. The Broker's Opinion is exactly that — yours. The seller's situation, the buyer pool in your market, the local reputation, the deal context that doesn't show up in any dataset: those are professional judgments only the broker can make. Our job is to make your judgment defensible. Yours is to apply it.
Not a printout of a calculator. A defensible analytical document — plain-language, with the methodology trail behind it. Use it internally, walk through it with a client, or send the summary.

No — and that's intentional. QuickVal produces a Broker's Opinion of Value (BOV) or Most Probable Selling Price (MPSP) analysis. That's the working document brokers and M&A advisors actually use — for listing decisions, owner conversations, deal triage, and financing analysis — with the appropriate liability framing. For statutory or fairness opinions, a credentialed valuation analyst is the right call. We complement that workflow; we don't replace it.
Six independent sources: marketplace transaction data, private-capital survey data, industry margin benchmarks (government and tax-authority), cost-of-capital reference data, aggregated industry research, and your own 28-factor quality scorecard. Each is weighted by sample size, recency, and relevance to the subject company's revenue band. Every analysis cites the methodology.
Yes. Every analysis includes DSCR (debt-service coverage ratio) at conventional and SBA-style financing structures. You can model down-payment scenarios, seller-financing splits, and earnout structures alongside the headline valuation — the math that decides whether a deal actually closes.
Sub-$500K micro-businesses through $20M+ lower-middle-market deals. The underlying methodology shifts by revenue band — we use a blended margin benchmark for sub-$5M businesses to avoid unfair comparison against larger-company benchmarks, and lean on cost-of-capital data for upper-range plausibility on the larger end.
Soft cap. We don't block you mid-deal — you can keep going, and we'll reach out to talk about upgrading if you're consistently over.
