Value a privately held business, and defend the number.
ExitSight is business valuation software that runs in your browser. Enter or import the financials once. It runs seven valuation methods across the income, market, and asset approaches, reconciles them into one conclusion of value, and prints a complete appraisal report you can hand to a buyer, a banker, a partner, or a court.
What ExitSight does
- Import the financials
- Excel or CSV — the exports every accounting system produces, including QuickBooks and Xero. Accounts are mapped onto the recasting worksheet and anything unplaced is listed, not silently dropped.
- Recast the statements
- Owner compensation, related-party rent, personal and one-time expenses become proposed add-backs, each carrying a stated basis.
- Run seven methods
- Income, market, and asset approaches computed from the same dataset, so a change in one input moves every indication.
- Reconcile and weight
- One synthesis table with your weights, the weighted conclusion, and a chart of the range of indications.
- Test the deal
- Price justification, debt service coverage, seller-note and loan terms, and worst/base/best what-if scenarios.
- Print the report
- A complete typeset appraisal with every supporting table, ready to sign, as PDF.
Who uses it
Owners planning an exit, CPAs adding valuation to the practice, brokers pricing a listing, appraisers producing a signed opinion, and attorneys who need a number that survives cross-examination. Each starts in a different place in the app — see who ExitSight is for.
The seven valuation methods
No single method decides a valuation. ExitSight computes all of them from one dataset so you can see where they agree and defend the weight you give each. Full detail on thevaluation methods page.
Why advisors pick it over a spreadsheet
A spreadsheet valuation quietly holds four versions of the same earnings figure. In ExitSight, the recast earnings line feeds every method, the what-if scenarios, and the report at once.
Narrative paragraphs are bound to your figures — entity type, standard of value, methods applied and rejected. Nothing prints as bracketed placeholder text.
Every figure in the report comes straight from a worksheet. Add-backs carry their stated basis, and market multiples carry their source and date.
Engagements are stored encrypted at rest, exportable as .esv or PDF whenever you like, and never sold or shared. Cancel and take your work with you; delete it and it is gone.
The report is generated, not retyped
Twenty typeset pages: letter of opinion, scope, statement reconstruction, every method applied and rejected, the reconciliation table, price justification, and limiting conditions. Narrative paragraphs are bound to your figures — nothing prints as bracketed placeholder text.

Frequently asked questions
A full appraisal from a credentialed firm runs roughly $5,000 to $15,000 for a company under $5M in revenue, and four to eight weeks. An ExitSight subscription is $149 a month with unlimited valuations, which is why most owners get their own number first and reserve the signed appraisal for the moment it is actually required.
More than one. Owner-operated companies usually lead with a multiple of discretionary earnings; mature companies with capitalized earnings; growth and turnaround cases with discounted cash flow — with market comparables and adjusted book value as cross-checks. ExitSight computes all seven and asks you to weight them.
Revenue multiples for small companies typically fall between 0.4× and 1.2×, but the spread is so wide that a revenue multiple alone is a conversation starter, not a valuation. Earnings multiples are far more informative because they capture how much of that revenue you keep.
The format follows the structure reviewers expect: stated standard and premise of value, methods applied and rejected, supporting schedules, a price justification test, and limiting conditions. Acceptance rests on the appraiser who signs it, so for SBA financing, gift and estate filings, ESOPs, or litigation, have a credentialed valuator review and sign the work.
Three to five years of income statements, the most recent balance sheet, owner compensation and perquisite detail, and a rough sense of your industry's transaction multiples. ExitSight will produce an indication from a single year and will tell you which methods that limits.
