Valuation for Active Business Owners

Active owners who aren't selling yet still need a live valuation: it anchors buy-sell agreements, informs bonus structures tied to enterprise value, and turns 'what would you take for the business?' from a gut feeling into a number you can back up. The more powerful use, though, is knowing which input — EBITDA margin, growth rate, working-capital efficiency — moves your valuation the most. That's where the scenario-planning tools below become a growth dashboard, not just a sale-prep exercise.

Key question this answers

What is my business worth today, and what moves that number?

XIT Matters uses FCFF, FCFE, and EV/EBITDA — blended for your specific perspective — so the answer reflects what actually matters to you. Read the methodology.
