Calculator

Business Valuation Calculator

Estimate the value of your electrical business using revenue multiples and profit-based methods. Useful for selling, buying, or planning.

How to Use

Enter your annual revenue (total turnover) and net profit (after all expenses including your own salary or drawings).

Add the market value of your business assets — vans, tools, stock, and equipment.

Adjust the revenue multiple (typically 0.3-0.8x for trade businesses without strong recurring revenue).

Adjust the profit multiple (typically 2-4x for trade businesses).

Review the three valuations. The midpoint gives a reasonable estimate for planning purposes.

About This Calculator

This business valuation calculator gives electricians a rough estimate of their business value using two common methods: revenue multiple and profit multiple. It is not a substitute for professional valuation, but it gives you a useful starting point for planning, partnership discussions, or preparing to sell.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is an electrical business worth?

A typical small electrical business is worth between 0.3-0.8x annual revenue or 2-4x annual net profit. A sole trader earning £80k revenue might be valued at £30k-£65k. A firm with £250k revenue and £50k profit could be worth £100k-£200k. Factors like customer base, reputation, and certifications affect the multiple.

Which valuation method is more accurate?

For trade businesses, the profit multiple method is generally more relevant because it reflects actual earnings. Revenue multiples are useful as a cross-check. Professional valuers typically use a weighted blend of both, plus asset value.

How can I increase my business value?

Focus on building recurring revenue (maintenance contracts), documenting your processes, growing your customer database, maintaining certifications, and ensuring your business can operate without you personally. These factors increase the multiple buyers will pay.
