Don't Sell Your Business Blind.
Find Out What Buyers Would Really Pay.
Get an instant, data-backed valuation range in about five minutes. No cost, no obligation, and no guessing about the biggest asset you own.
Selling your business is a once-in-a-lifetime decision. Get it wrong and you can walk away with hundreds of thousands, or millions, less than it's worth. Get it right and you fund your next chapter: retirement, the next venture, or real financial freedom.
Here's the problem: most owners don't know their number. They lean on rules of thumb and napkin math while buyers and their banks use hard market data. That gap costs owners their life's work every single day.
That's why we built this free calculator:
- Instant valuation range built on your SDE and a real industry multiple, not a guess.
- A sellability score that shows what's driving your number up or down today.
- No cost, no obligation, just clarity you can act on.
Then ask yourself: if a buyer offered you today's number, would you sell now? Or hold, grow, and exit later for more? Either way, knowing your number is the first step to the smartest move of your life.
And when you're ready to sell, here's why working with us is a no-brainer:
We only get paid when your business sells, at a number you're happy with. Zero risk, all upside.
Run the numbers now. It's fast, it's free, and it could change your financial future in the next five minutes. Jump to the calculator ↓

Normally $5,000, free right now because we have far more buyers than sellers.

Why It's Free (No Hook. No Pitch.)
Most "free" offers online come with a catch: a sales pitch, a hidden fee, or a string attached. This isn't one of them. Here's why:
We only make money when your business sells.
No retainers. No upfront fees. No surprises. We get paid a percentage of the transaction, only after you get paid.
We invest in your sale before we see a dime.
Your $5,000 professional evaluation and your 8-page CIM are free, and we market your business confidentially to our buyer network at our expense. That's why we need sellers to be realistic about value from day one. Inflated expectations mean nobody wins.
Accurate numbers save us both time.
This tool shows you what buyers and banks would actually pay. With that clarity, you'll know whether it makes sense to sell now, or hold and grow for a bigger exit later.
We don't earn until you earn. That's why it's free.
Who This Is For
- Owners who want clarity on what their company is truly worth today
- Entrepreneurs planning to sell in the next 6 to 24 months who want a head start
- Owners who value data over guesses and want a realistic, market-driven number
- Sellers who understand the right exit is life-changing and want to do it right
- People who like no upfront fees and a partner who only wins when they do
Who It's Not For
- Owners looking for a fantasy number that ignores what buyers actually pay
- People who aren't open to a buyer's perspective or real market conditions
- Anyone unwilling to share the basic financials needed to calculate value
- Sellers "testing the waters" with no real intention of ever exiting
- Owners who think paying a broker an upfront retainer with no guarantee is a good deal
If you're serious about knowing your number and maximizing your exit, this was built for you. If not, no hard feelings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really free? What's the catch?
Yes, it's 100% free. No catch, no upfront fees, no retainers. We only get paid if and when we sell your business, so we're fully aligned with you: if you don't win, we don't win.
How accurate is the calculator?
The number you see isn't a rule of thumb or a guess. It's built the way buyers, lenders, and brokers actually value small businesses: your Seller's Discretionary Earnings multiplied by a market multiple for your industry, then adjusted for size, trend, and how much the business depends on you. It gives you a realistic range for planning. Your free professional evaluation then digs into your actual financials to pin down the real number.
What information do I need?
Just the basics from last year's tax return or P&L: revenue, net profit, what you pay yourself, and a few add-backs like depreciation and owner benefits, plus a handful of quick questions about the business. About five minutes, and your results show instantly.
What happens after I get my number?
That's up to you. You can:
- Use it as a baseline to grow the business and plan a bigger exit later
- Book a free call and let us start your professional evaluation and connect you with serious buyers now
Either way, there's no obligation and no pressure.
Why should I trust CANZELL to sell my business?
My husband and I have built over 16 companies and sold four of them for multi-millions, so we've sat on both sides of the closing table. Unlike brokers who charge upfront retainers whether they deliver or not, we only make money when you do. We provide your $5,000 professional evaluation and your 8-page CIM free, market your business confidentially to vetted buyers, and if we accept your listing and don't present a qualified offer within 90 days, you owe us no commission.
Is my information confidential?
Completely. Your numbers are never shared or sold. If you decide to sell, your business is marketed with blind listings and NDAs so employees, customers, and competitors never learn it's for sale until you choose.
What Sets The Exit Coach Apart
Battle-tested experience across multiple industries and market conditions.
The Strategic Operator.
Twenty years of founding, growing, and scaling companies from a single location to a presence in 20 states. I have navigated the exact scaling hurdles and exit complexities you are facing right now.
Battle-Tested Systems.
This is not theoretical consulting. It is a 90-day operating system built on real-world exits and documented value drivers. We don't guess at growth; we install the infrastructure that creates it.
Service Business Architecture.
Generic exit advice fails service-based companies because their value is often trapped in the owner. My framework is specifically designed to extract that value and transfer it into repeatable processes, independent teams, and clean financials.
The Result.
I move you from a business that depends on your presence to a transferable asset that thrives in your absence. Within three months, your company will be positioned for a high-value transition.
