The Mill Value Estimator

Estimates use our public comp table (whole-business asks, Sep 2026). Ten seconds, nothing leaves your browser until you ask for the breakdown.

Want the Written Snapshot?

The estimator gives the band instantly. The snapshot adds a human reading of your answers — comp-by-comp placement, sellability notes, and a realistic timeline — delivered in writing within two business days.

Step 1

Tell us the operation

State, type, years owned, rough revenue and what you actually clear. Estimates are fine — the band accounts for it.

Step 2

We run the comps

Your numbers against the public comp table: asking prices, revenue, and cash flow multiples from live and recent sales listings.

Step 3

Your band, in writing

A low-to-high value band with the reasoning, within two business days. If it surprises you, that is exactly why you ran it.

Common Questions

How do you value a sawmill?

Three numbers: adjusted owner benefit (true cash flow plus salary and personal expenses), a multiple band (roughly 2x to 5x owner benefit depending on owner dependence and customer concentration), and the asset floor from an equipment auction estimate. Our snapshot places you against the only public comp table in the industry, currently at a median of about 1.78x revenue and 4.18x cash flow, asking basis, with equity-stake listings excluded from the math.

Is the snapshot really free?

Yes. It is an 8-question form and you get a value band back within two business days. No credit card, no follow-up sequence, no obligation. If you want the full Mill Value Report ($499, with sellability score and timeline), that is a separate, optional step.

What is the difference between the snapshot and the $499 Mill Value Report?

The snapshot gives you a value band from the comp table. The full report adds comp-by-comp placement, a sellability score, the three levers most likely to move your number, and a realistic timeline to close. It is prepared by a human who reads wood company financials for a living.

Does submitting mean I'm selling?

No. Most owners who run the snapshot are years away from a sale and just want to know the number. Nothing you send is published, listed, or shared.
