Business Acquisition ROI Calculator
Estimate buyer cash invested, annual cash flow after debt service, cash-on-cash return, payback period, projected exit equity, MOIC, annualized return, and DSCR before buying a business.
Use buyer return before chasing a larger deal
A business acquisition can pass lender DSCR and still be a weak buyer investment if the cash-on-cash return, payback period, exit equity, and downside debt service do not work. Use this estimate with the business acquisition loan calculator, business valuation calculator, quality of earnings adjusted EBITDA calculator, and customer concentration risk calculator.
This calculator is an estimate for planning and comparison only. It does not replace lender underwriting, tax advice, legal advice, quality of earnings work, seller diligence, exit planning, or investment advice.
