How BESTimate™ and StreetScore™ Work
Your BESTimate is calculated using your operating fundamentals, industry valuation multiples, and broader economic indicators. StreetScore benchmarks your Efficiency, Profitability, Growth, Quality, and Productivity against similar businesses. Data is anonymized, aggregated, and drawn directly from your QuickBooks financials — ensuring both accuracy and trust.
Your BESTimate is calculated using industry-standard valuation multiples applied to your financial performance. We analyze your revenue, EBITDA, and growth trajectory, then apply multiples that reflect current market conditions for businesses in your industry and size range.
The valuation range accounts for variations in deal structure, buyer appetite, and market timing. Professional buyers use these same methods to assess acquisition targets, making your BESTimate a reliable starting point for strategic conversations.
Key Inputs:
- • Revenue and EBITDA performance
- • Industry-specific valuation multiples
- • Growth rate and consistency
- • Economic and market indicators
StreetScore evaluates your business across five critical dimensions: Efficiency (how well you manage working capital), Profitability (margin strength), Growth (revenue and earnings trajectory), Quality (financial stability and return on capital), and Productivity (output per employee or asset).
Each metric is normalized against peer businesses in your industry, then weighted to create a composite score from 0 to 100. Your percentile ranking shows where you stand relative to similar companies, helping you identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.
Five Pillars:
- • Efficiency: AR days, AP days, capital turnover
- • Profitability: Gross margin, net margin
- • Growth: Sales growth, earnings growth, cash flow growth
- • Quality: ROIC, ROA, debt ratios
- • Productivity: Profit per employee, asset utilization
Your financial data is anonymized immediately upon import. We never store identifiable business names, owner information, or client details. All benchmarking is performed using aggregated, anonymized data sets that preserve individual privacy while enabling meaningful comparisons.
We use bank-level encryption for data transmission and storage. You retain full control: disconnect QuickBooks or delete your data at any time with a single click. We never sell your data, and our business model is built on subscription fees, not data monetization.
Five Pillars:
- • Immediate anonymization of all company identifiers
- • Bank-grade encryption for data in transit and at rest
- • One-click data deletion and account removal
- • Zero data sales or third-party monetization
