Work out your company’s EBITDA and an indicative value using typical multiples for your industry — then see what tax a sale would trigger.
Indicative only. Real-world multiples vary widely with size, growth and earnings quality. Treat this as a starting point, not a valuation.
EBITDA — earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation — strips a business back to its underlying operating profit. Buyers then apply a multiple to it to arrive at an enterprise value, and that multiple varies by sector: a software business commands far more per pound of EBITDA than a construction firm.
Treat the range above as a starting point, not a valuation. Real multiples swing widely with size, growth rate, recurring revenue, customer concentration and the quality of earnings — and a formal valuation weighs all of it. What this does give you is a sense of scale, and a prompt to plan the tax before you go to market.
Because how you structure and time a sale drives the tax — and that planning has to happen early. Property Tax Optimisers models the disposal alongside your wider position.
