Can I email my results to myself?
Yes — and it is one of the smartest things you can do after completing the calculator. After your valuation is displayed, simply enter your email address and a summary of your results will be sent directly to your inbox. No account required, no spam, no follow-up pressure — just your numbers delivered somewhere you can find them again.
It sounds simple, but the email feature is more useful than most people initially realize. Here is why.
Why Emailing Your Results Matters
The business valuation calculator gives you your results instantly — but results you cannot find again are results you cannot act on. Closing the browser tab, switching devices, or simply forgetting the number you saw on screen means starting over from scratch the next time you need it.
More importantly, your valuation is not just a number to admire — it is the starting point for every meaningful decision you make about your business from this point forward. For business planning, personal planning, and estate and tax planning purposes, knowing your valuation number is a critical step in strategic business planning. Having it sitting in your inbox, timestamped and organized, means it is always one search away when you need it. Teamengine
What the Email Contains
Your valuation summary email includes the key outputs from your calculator session in a clean, readable format:
- Your estimated business value range — low, mid, and high estimate
- The primary valuation methodology applied — SDE, EBITDA, or whichever method the calculator used for your business
- Your key financial inputs — the revenue, earnings, and other figures you entered, so you have a record of the basis for your estimate
- Your industry and multiplier — the sector you selected and the benchmark multiple applied
- A summary of your top value drivers — the factors positively and negatively affecting your valuation
- A link back to the calculator — so you can rerun it easily when your numbers change
- Next step options — including how to download your full PDF report and how to request a free consultation if you want to talk through your results with an advisor
The email is designed to be a useful reference document — not a sales pitch. It gives you everything you need to pick up the conversation right where you left off, whether that is tomorrow or six months from now.
Your Valuation Is a Living Number — Treat It Like One
One of the most important things business owners miss is that their valuation is not a static figure. It changes as your business changes — as revenue grows, as you hire key staff, as you add recurring revenue streams, or as you reduce your personal involvement in day-to-day operations.
Most small businesses with limited owners should complete a valuation every 3 to 5 years. With added complexity or multiple partners, an annual valuation provides consistency and transparency. Quantumadvisors
Having your results in your email means you have a timestamped baseline. When you run the calculator again in six or twelve months, you can compare your new results against the email you saved and see exactly how much your business value has moved — and why. That kind of visibility turns exit planning from an abstract concept into a measurable financial strategy you can track over time.
Watching your valuation respond to specific decisions — adding a recurring revenue stream, losing a key customer, hiring a general manager — turns exit planning from an abstract concept into a measurable financial strategy. Yourexitvalue
The Value of Having Your Number Before You Need It
Most business owners do not think seriously about their business value until something forces the issue — a health event, a surprise acquisition offer, a partner dispute, or a sudden desire to retire. At that point, they are making decisions under pressure without a baseline, without preparation, and without time to improve their position.
Owners who know their valuation in advance negotiate from a position of strength — they can evaluate any offer accurately rather than accepting the first reasonable number they hear. Planned exits close at significantly higher rates: approximately 70–80% of prepared listings close versus 20–30% of reactive listings. Yourexitvalue
Emailing your results to yourself today — even if you have no plans to sell for years — gives you that foundation. It takes thirty seconds and costs nothing. But the clarity it provides about where your business stands right now can shape every decision you make between now and the day you eventually exit.
Experts recommend that business exit preparations begin five to ten years before a potential sale, giving owners the time to close value gaps, strengthen operations, and position themselves for the best outcome. Your emailed valuation summary is the first document in that preparation. Theiepa
How to Use Your Emailed Results
Once your summary is in your inbox here are a few ways to put it to work immediately:
Forward it to your accountant
Your CPA can review your financial inputs and confirm whether your SDE or EBITDA figures are accurate — and identify any addbacks you may have missed that could increase your valuation.
Share it with your financial advisor
Since the value of the business often makes up a significant portion of the business owner’s net worth, having an objective value of the business is an essential part of the exit planning process, which can then inform estate planning. Your financial advisor needs this number to help you plan for retirement or wealth transfer accurately. Quantumadvisors
File it with your important business documents
Create a folder — physical or digital — labeled “Exit Planning” and put your valuation summary in it alongside your last three years of tax returns and financial statements. This folder becomes the foundation of your sale preparation when the time comes.
Set a calendar reminder to rerun the calculator
Mark a date six or twelve months from now to come back, update your numbers, and see how your valuation has moved. Tracking your progress over time is one of the most motivating and informative things you can do as a business owner planning for an eventual exit.
Use it to start the conversation with a broker
If you have been curious about what your business might sell for but have not yet spoken with a broker, your valuation summary email gives you something concrete to bring to that first conversation. Instead of asking “what do you think my business is worth?” you can say “here is where I think it stands — what is your read on these numbers?” That is a much more productive starting point.
For a deeper understanding of how your valuation fits into a comprehensive exit planning process, YourExitValue offers an excellent free guide covering everything from baseline valuation to closing day — well worth bookmarking alongside your results email.
