What the Ballpark Valuation gives you — and what it does not

What you get

  • ✓An indicative valuation range based on SME transaction evidence for your sector and scale
  • ✓The benchmark multiples applied — shown explicitly, not embedded in the output
  • ✓A confidence rating on the strength of the underlying transaction evidence
  • ✓A PDF report emailed to you, setting out the inputs, multiples, and resulting range

What this is not

  • —Not a formal valuation opinion or professional advisory
  • —Not tax advice or transaction advice
  • —Not a number to carry into negotiations or place in a sales memorandum
  • —Not an assessment of your specific business — it benchmarks the market, not you individually

How it works

01

Check coverage

Enter your sector, revenue, and rough EBITDA. The system confirms whether transaction evidence exists for your combination. If coverage is unavailable, there is no charge.

02

Work through a short questionnaire

Around five minutes. Basic financial details and the common adjustments buyers typically apply to reported earnings before they form a view on value.

03

Receive your range and report

A clear indicative range with the multiples shown. A PDF report delivered to your inbox, setting out the earnings basis, the multiples applied, and the resulting benchmark.

Business valuation is a range — not a fixed answer

When comparable businesses change hands, they transact across a spread of outcomes. A business that looks similar to another on the surface can sell at very different multiples — depending on what buyers find when they look closely.

The Ballpark Valuation shows you the range of outcomes typically observed in transactions for businesses like yours. It reflects market dispersion as it actually exists — not a single confident figure with false precision behind it.

Where your specific business sits within that range depends on structural factors: how dependent the business is on you personally, the concentration of your customers, the depth of your management team, the predictability of earnings under a new owner. These are the questions buyers ask first.

Knowing the range is the first step. Knowing where you sit within it is the second.

What happens next

The Ballpark Valuation is the first layer. There are two further layers for owners who want to go deeper before making decisions about the future of their business.

Step 1

Ballpark Valuation

Understand the market benchmark — what comparable businesses in your sector and scale typically sell for. A benchmark starting point, before buyer scrutiny begins.

You are here

Step 2

Saleability Diagnostic

Understand where your business sits within the range. The diagnostic evaluates the structural factors buyers examine — owner dependence, customer concentration, management depth — and estimates how they affect your valuation position.

Step 3

Strategic Review + 90-Minute Session

When you are ready to prepare for a transaction, the Strategic Review evaluates the business from a buyer's perspective — identifying where value is at risk, what needs to improve, and what a credible exit plan looks like. Includes a 90-minute working session.

When you are ready

Built around the question buyers actually ask

Most valuation tools are built around the question owners want answered: what is my business worth?

Norivane is built around the question buyers actually ask: would I buy this — and at what price?

The Ballpark Valuation gives you a grounded, evidence-based starting point. What comparable businesses have sold for in your sector and at your scale — before any of the structural questions are asked.

That is a more useful place to start than a confident number without context.
