“What’s my car wash business worth?”

There are several valuation methods which are described below. Valuing a business isn’t an exact science, the result will depend not just on the method used but also the person doing the valuation and their appetite for risk and reward.

  • Adjusted Net Asset Method
    An asset-based valuation can be fairly straightforward if your balance sheet is in order, as it largely mirrors what the balance sheet shows. First, add up the value of the business assets and subtract its liabilities to get the starting value.

  • Capitalization of Cash Flow Method
    The capitalization of cash flow (CCF) method is the simpler of the two main income-based methods that you may want to consider when valuing companies that generate income.

  • Discounted Cash Flow Method
    The discounted cash flow (DCF) method is another income-based method. It uses the business’s projected future cash flow and the time value of money to determine the current value.

Learning how to estimate the value of a company can be important for car wash owners for many reasons. Even if you’re not planning on selling your business, regularly performing a quick-and-dirty business valuation can help you track your progress over time. Taking a deeper dive into the valuation may help you uncover opportunities for growth.
