Tell Us About Your Business
Basic information is enough to begin. Share what you know; use Notes for anything that needs context.
A Clear Starting Point
The Alignment Firm reviews your financial and operating context and identifies assumptions or gaps that need a closer conversation.
Which financial information is available and what may need clarification.
How contracts, backlog, people, equipment, and owner dependence shape the discussion.
Whether preparation, a fuller valuation conversation, or sale planning makes sense.
This is not a guaranteed value or a commitment to sell. Your request does not authorize disclosure to potential buyers.
Prefer to Talk First? ↗From Your Request to the Next Decision
An advisor reviews your request and the question you want to answer.
Discuss the business model, available records, assumptions, and operating dependencies.
Choose further preparation, a broader valuation discussion, sale planning, or no immediate action.
Earnings With Operating Context
A useful value discussion connects earnings with the work, people, and assets that support them. A multiple alone cannot explain whether those earnings are likely to continue after a sale.
Seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE) considers the earnings available to one working owner after relevant business expenses.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is another starting point. Adjustments for owner-specific, nonrecurring, or nonoperating items need support.
You do not need to normalize the accounts alone before making an inquiry.
Different Businesses. Different Value Questions.
The review should reflect how your company wins work, delivers it, and continues beyond the owner.
Project pipeline, backlog, licensed principals, client relationships, and leadership continuity
Active backlog, fleet condition, replacement needs, crews, equipment obligations, and current work
Maintenance and service revenue compared with project work, technician coverage, customer relationships, and field leadership
Recurring contracts, route density, customer retention, workforce coverage, and operating consistency
Customer concentration, permits, equipment, field requirements, contracts, and specialized operating knowledge

Common Valuation Questions
No. The free valuation discussion is an initial, company-specific conversation about available information, assumptions, and questions that may need further review. If a formal appraisal is required for another purpose, consult a qualified appraisal professional.
No. Start with the records available and an honest view of what needs clarification. You do not need to normalize accounts alone before making an inquiry.
Your request is handled as a confidential owner inquiry. It does not commit you to a sale, trigger buyer outreach, or authorize disclosure of your information to potential buyers.
No. Some owners request a valuation discussion while planning ahead, considering a buyer inquiry, or deciding whether preparation should come before a sale process.
