Free Tools to Sell Your Business
Four free business valuation tools that build on each other: find what your business is worth, see what moves that number, diagnose the single driver buyers weigh most, and work out what you would actually keep. No sign-up, and each tool carries your numbers into the next.
- Start here Business Valuation CalculatorWhat is my business worth? Begin with the number everything else refers back to: a realistic range for what your business would sell for today. You get: A market value range from your earnings and industry multiple.
- Then Value Drivers CalculatorWhat moves that number up or down? Once you have a range, see what is behind it. Six value drivers pull the multiple up or down, and this shows which ones matter most for you. You get: How six factors buyers price shift your multiple, biggest movers first.
- Go deeper Owner-Dependence ScoreCan the business run without me? Owner dependence is usually the largest of those six drivers, so it gets its own diagnostic: four questions, one score, and what it does to your multiple. You get: A 0-100 transferability score, the single driver buyers weigh most.
- Then the payoff Net Proceeds CalculatorWhat would I actually keep? Finally, turn a sale price into a real number: what lands in your account after debt, fees, and taxes come out. You get: Your take-home after debt payoff, broker fees, and capital gains taxes.
The tools share a deal thread for your session, so the value you find in the first flows into the rest and clears when you close your browser. They are estimates for education, not a formal valuation or financial advice; confirm big decisions with your advisor.
What these business seller tools do
Two businesses with the same earnings rarely sell for the same price, and the sale price is rarely what the owner takes home. This free toolkit makes both facts concrete: it estimates your value, shows what moves it, scores how well the business runs without you, and models what you keep. Each is a directional estimate, framed as a starting point, not an appraisal.
What these tools are for
Together they answer the four questions every seller has: what is it worth, what moves that number, how transferable is it, and what would I keep? Each is a fast estimate you can run in a minute, framed as education rather than an appraisal.
Who they are for
Owners of small and mid-sized businesses who are thinking about selling, now or in a year or two, and want an honest starting point before they talk to an advisor. No finance background needed; every input is plain language.
How they fit an advisor-led valuation
They are the first pass, not the final word. The tools orient you and show you where to prepare; a professional valuation prices your business with the details a calculator cannot see. Start here, then bring your numbers to an advisor.
Common questions about these tools
What free tools does Iconic offer for selling a business?
Four, and they work together: a business valuation calculator for what your company is worth, a value drivers tool for what moves that number, an owner-dependence score for how well the business runs without you, and a net proceeds calculator for what you would actually keep after debt, fees, and taxes. All four are free and need no email.
Which tool should I start with?
Start with the business valuation calculator to get your range, then follow the sequence: value drivers to see what moves it, the owner-dependence score to diagnose the biggest single lever, and the net proceeds calculator to see your take-home. Each one carries your numbers forward for the session, so later tools start where the last one left off.
Do these tools require an email or an account?
No. Every tool runs in your browser, free, with no sign-up and no email gate. Your figures are kept only for the current session and clear when you close your browser; nothing identifying is stored or sent.
How accurate are these calculators?
They are directional estimates for education, built on general market multiples, not a formal valuation or a promise of what a specific buyer will pay. They are a fast, honest starting point that show you the ranges and the levers; a professional valuation refines them with the details a calculator cannot see.
How do these tools relate to a professional valuation?
They do the first pass an advisor would do on the back of an envelope: apply a market multiple, adjust for the obvious risk factors, and frame the tradeoffs. An advisor-led valuation goes further with your actual financials, add-backs, customer contracts, and deal structure. Use the tools to get oriented and to prepare; use an advisor to price and to sell. Anything touching taxes here is general information, not tax advice; confirm with a CPA.
