ROI Logistics is a business exit advisory firm. We help owners understand what their business is worth, prepare for a successful exit, and sell on their terms. Our tools are built on the same methodology professional acquirers use — because business owners deserve that same level of intelligence.
The Business Value Score (BVS) is a composite rating from 0 to 950 that evaluates your business across 8 critical dimensions of value. Think of it like a credit score, but for your business. It tells you not just what your business might be worth today, but exactly what you can do to make it worth more tomorrow.
The BVS uses SDE (Seller's Discretionary Earnings) methodology, which is the standard valuation approach for owner-operated businesses with revenue between $500,000 and $5 million. SDE represents the total financial benefit of owning the business, including net profit plus the owner's salary, benefits, and discretionary expenses.
Your SDE is then multiplied by a factor (the "multiple") that reflects the overall quality and risk profile of your business. A stronger BVS means a higher multiple, which means a higher valuation. The BVS dimensions are specifically designed to capture the factors that drive that multiple up or down.
Each dimension is scored 0-100 and weighted based on its impact on real-world acquisition outcomes. These weights are calibrated from industry data on actual business sales.
SDE margins, revenue growth trajectory, profit consistency, and earnings quality. This is the engine that drives your valuation.
Recurring revenue percentage, customer concentration, and income predictability. $1M in contracts is worth far more than $1M in one-off projects.
How well the business runs without the owner. If the business can't function without you, a buyer isn't buying a business — they're buying a job.
Legal exposure, compliance posture, business longevity, and transfer risk. Clean businesses close faster and at higher multiples.
Management depth, employee retention, and key-person risk. Buyers want a team that stays post-acquisition.
Process documentation, technology infrastructure, and scalability. Systematized businesses are transferable businesses.
Competitive differentiation, market growth trajectory, and brand strength. A factor in buyer interest and competitive bidding.
Revenue trend, expansion potential, and untapped opportunities. Buyers pay a premium for businesses with clear upside.
ROI Logistics was founded on a simple observation: most small business owners don't have access to the same valuation intelligence that larger companies take for granted. They've spent years building something real, but when it comes time to think about their exit, they're working with incomplete information.
We built the Business Value Score to change that. Using the same SDE methodology that professional acquirers use, our platform gives every business owner a clear, data-driven picture of what their business is worth — and exactly what they can do to increase that value before they sell.
Whether you're planning an exit next year or just want to understand your position, we're here to help you make the most informed decision of your career.
Your business is your most valuable asset. It's time to understand what it's worth — and what it could be worth.
