Dovetail Consulting · Valuation Services
Know what your business is worth — and what it could be worth
A defensible valuation built from your financials, your market's current multiples, and the judgement factors buyers actually price. Delivered as a formal report with the gaps you can close before you sell.
How it works
Four steps to a defensible number
01
Tell us about the business
Industry, region, ownership, customers, and how the company makes money.
02
Enter the financials
Revenue, earnings, add-backs, debt, and cash. Three years is ideal, one will do.
03
Score the intangibles
Twelve weighted judgement factors, then an optional deep dive built for your industry.
04
Receive the report
A valuation range, comparable transactions, and a ranked list of value gaps to close.
Hard data
Earnings-based, seller-discretionary, and revenue methods selected to fit the size and shape of the business, then adjusted for debt and cash.
Current market
Multiples are researched per industry, sector, and region, refreshed continuously, and reviewed by a Dovetail advisor before they touch your report.
Honest judgement
Thirteen weighted factors capture owner dependence, concentration, recurring revenue, and the operational risk buyers discount for.
