For Business Owners

Design your exit.

Ten minutes, and you will know three things most owners find out far too late: what your business is worth on adjusted earnings, what each exit structure would actually pay you, and which two things to fix first.

The number is free and needs no email. We ask for one only to send you the plan.

We represent buyers.

That is exactly why this is useful to you: we know what acquirers actually pay for, because they tell us. Our principal also built and sold his own technology services company, then ran inside the platform that bought it.

Built for founder-owned businesses from $5M to $100M.

The sponsors we advise build platforms at $100M+ in revenue. Those platforms grow by acquiring founder-owned businesses between roughly $5M and $100M. If you are in that range, you are exactly who the buyers we work with are looking for.

Step 1 of 7

What a good outcome looks like

We start here rather than with your numbers. What you want out of this changes which outcomes are worth modelling, and it is the part no calculator asks about.

Choose the one that would decide it.

This is a guideline, not a valuation, an appraisal, or a fairness opinion.

It is based on published transaction ranges, not on Agentive Capital’s proprietary deal data.

Actual outcomes depend on factors no formula captures, and they regularly move results well beyond any model in both directions.

Your answers stay in your browser until you ask for the plan. Nothing is shared with any acquirer without your written permission, and there are no advertising or analytics trackers on this tool.

Published ranges, not our own deal data.

The multiples behind this tool come from published 2026 transaction reporting for the US lower middle market. They are a starting point, not a conclusion, and they are deliberately visible rather than hidden behind a black box.
