What Is My Utah Business Worth?
Answer three questions and get a market value range in 30 seconds. The calculator uses real multiples from completed Utah business sales, the same data behind our 2026 Utah Business Sale Report. Free, confidential, and no sign-up required.
What Utah Businesses Actually Sell For
Most Utah small businesses sell for a multiple of seller's discretionary earnings. HVAC, plumbing and electrical, roofing and landscaping trade at 3 to 4 times. Construction and trades and retail run 2 to 3 times. Window cleaning trades around 2 times for residential routes and 3 to 4 for contracted commercial work. Medical billing reaches 4 to 10 times depending on specialty and client concentration. Manufacturers and larger companies are often valued on EBITDA at 4 to 6 times.
What Is Seller's Discretionary Earnings?
SDE is the total financial benefit one owner-operator takes from the business each year: net profit plus your salary, plus personal expenses run through the business, plus one-time costs. Because buyers value small businesses on earnings rather than revenue, getting your add-backs right is often worth six figures at closing.
This Is an Estimate, Not a Valuation
The calculator gives you a range in 30 seconds. A professional valuation analyzes your actual financials, verifies your add-backs line by line, and uses comparable completed sales to produce a defensible number a bank, a buyer, or a court will accept. If you are within two to three years of selling, get the real number. It is free and confidential.
