WHAT’S YOUR COMPANY WORTH? Take 15 minutes to estimate the value of your business

CHICAGO - April 17, 2014 - PRLog -- Multiple Up, LLC launches Valuation, a free software application that helps business owners estimate the value of their business.  Valuation walks a business owner through the same sophisticated valuation methods used by Wall Street bankers to arrive at one simple valuation estimate.  To receive a comparable valuation, a business owner would typically have to pay thousands of dollars to a valuation professional or an investment bank.  Valuation is available to the public at no charge.

“Most business owners want to know what their company is worth but are too busy or don’t want to spend the money to find out.  Valuation is a simple, pain-free way of estimating how much their most valuable asset is worth – in 15 minutes or less,” explains David Lee, who founded Multiple Up after a 17-year career as an M&A lawyer representing private equity firms.

“All you need is an email address and a password,” adds Arnold Choi, who heads up Technology at Multiple Up.  “We don’t ask for phone numbers, company name or other information that can identify your business.  We get confidentiality.”  Arnie understands confidentiality concerns first hand, having recently sold Hostway, one of the world’s largest web hosting companies which he co-founded 14 years ago.

Results of three standard valuation methods – Comparable Company Analysis, Precedent Transaction Analysis and Discounted Cash Flow Analysis – are blended to estimate a company’s value.  An M&A football field chart lays out the summary.  “It may sound complicated, but we’ve broken it down into simple steps with helpful tips, so that any business owner can value his company in under 15 minutes,” explains Stephen Cho, a former investment banker and private equity investor who now leads product development for Multiple Up.
