This gives both founders and investors a quick estimate of valuation, useful for fundraising, negotiations, and long-term planning.
Annual revenue is the total income your business generates from sales in one year, before deducting costs. Investors often use revenue as the foundation for valuation.

The annual growth rate shows how fast your revenue is increasing year over year. Higher growth suggests stronger future potential, which usually attracts higher valuation multiples.
Formula: Annual Growth Rate (%) = [(Revenue This Year – Revenue Last Year) ÷ Revenue Last Year] × 100
EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation) margin measures how profitable your business is compared to revenue. A higher margin shows greater operational efficiency.
Formula: EBITDA Margin (%) = (EBITDA ÷ Revenue) × 100
A valuation multiple is the number investors apply to your revenue or EBITDA to estimate your company’s value. Different industries use different multiples (e.g., SaaS might use 8x, retail might use 2x).
Formula: Valuation = Metric (Revenue or EBITDA) × Multiple
