What’s Your Business Worth? BizEquity Zillows Small Business

Published by Joseph Ferrara (2) September 11th, 2008 in zillow. Comments

BizEquity hopes to cash in on the asset valuation craze fanned by Zillow by offering free estimated valuations for small businesses.  It claims to provide valuations for 10 million businesses nationwide.  Zowie!

Just enter the business name and location and Bizequity estimates the business values and maps the location, together with similar businesses in the area.  You can refine the general valuation estimate using their Custom Valuations.  Sorta like Zillow’s Zestimator.

Data comes from public sources, for what that’s worth.  If you thought home valuation was tough, valuation of businesses is totally unzillowable.

BizEquity is funded by Advanta Ventures Inc.Similar business valuation sites include BizBuySell, BizComps.com, and Valuadder.com

  • wow. seems to good to be true to have an online valuation tool like that, I think cant be too accurate right?
  • I wouldn't count on it myself. But it gives you a ballpark, for what that's
    worth.
  • We take a different approach and use business multipliers on http://BizAg.com to determine business value. Our data is based on tracking over 100,000 businesses for sale.
  • Nice try - but very misleading. The simple fact is:

    Private business sales data is not free. There is no requirement to publish private business sale transactions - unlike real estate. Nor is there an SEC requirement for private M&A deals.

    Private business deals data is, well, private.It is offered by a number of reputable database services.

    Take a look at a professionally reported private business sale market comps at:

    Ha...that's a good one. And we can have comments so folks can spill the beans on each other.
  • oooh, that gives me a business idea, maybe you want to go in on it with me??? It's called PeepEquity where it places the dollar value on what a person's worth is- higher values will be placed on people who work out, don't smoke and have religion in their life while unemployed junk food eaters have a lower value. The algorithm would not only take into account health for the value of organs but of their personal views, how often they watch the news, how many email accounts they have, how cool they are, how many Facebook friends they have and whether or not they volunteer. What do you think? It sounds equally feasible to me, how about you?? :)
