Know what your business is worth and what it can bring you

Bakery, restaurant, salon, garage, retail shop, building company: Bilanea applies the goodwill scales and ratios specific to your trade, and tells you what the bank will agree to finance.

What you experience today

  • A goodwill value heard “at the café” without any method
  • Remuneration that absorbs EBITDA without knowing whether the business is profitable
  • Inventory or customer terms that lock up cash
  • Equipment to renew without knowing what loan is reasonable

What Bilanea changes

The report combines the revenue-based scale of your activity (usual percentage of revenue in transactions) and the adjusted EBITDA multiple to give a realistic value range. The adjustment of owner remuneration and leasing is explained.

The ratios are those of your trade: inventory turnover for a shop, contribution margin for a bakery, staff over value added for a restaurant, customer days for construction.

The indicators highlighted for you

  • Value range of the goodwill and of the shares

  • Break-even revenue and break-even point in days of activity

  • Owner remuneration compared with EBITDA

  • Borrowing capacity for equipment, vehicle or works

  • Inventory turnover and supplier terms

  • Sale listing ready to publish

Your journey

  1. Ask your accountant for the ledger

    Or upload the tax return as PDF; the fiscal year and activity are detected.

  2. Check the detected sector

    The NAF code determines the scale and reference ratios: bakery, restaurant, hairdressing, construction, pharmacy…

  3. Decide: invest, transfer or optimise

    The report gives you the borrowable amount, the sale value and the quick-impact actions.

Frequently asked questions

Are the premises taken into account?
The valuation covers the operating business. If you own the premises, say so when publishing a listing: they are subject to a separate property appraisal.
I am a micro-entrepreneur, is it useful?
Without accrual accounting the report is limited. As soon as you keep books (actual regime, company), every indicator becomes available.
