Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We know that figuring out your business’s value can feel confusing. That’s why we’ve put together some of the most common questions we get — in plain English.
Privacy & Security
Q: Is my information safe?
A: Absolutely. Protecting your privacy is a top priority for us. When you use our calculators or share details for a professional valuation, your data is kept secure and confidential. We use trusted, secure platforms to process your information, and we never sell or share your data with third parties.
Only you have access to the results of your calculator, and if you choose a professional Opinion of Value, your information is reviewed strictly for the purpose of completing your report. We treat your business details with the same care we would treat our own.
General Questions
Q: What is Decipher Your Value?
A: Decipher Your Value is here to help small business owners understand what their business is really worth. We offer easy-to-use DIY calculators and in-depth professional valuations, so you can make smart decisions about your future.
Q: Who are these services for?
A: Our tools are designed for small business owners and entrepreneurs — whether you’re preparing to sell, planning for growth, or just curious about where you stand.
DIY Valuation Calculators
Q: How accurate are the DIY calculators?
A: Our calculators give you a strong, data-driven estimate based on your inputs and industry averages. They’re not meant to replace a full valuation, but they provide a clear and reliable starting point.
Q: How much do the calculators cost?
A: Each calculator is a one-time purchase of $447. Once you own it, you can use it as often as you like.
Q: What industries are covered?
A: We currently offer calculators for a variety of industries including services, retail, and manufacturing. More industries are being added regularly.
Professional Opinion of Value
Q: What’s the difference between a DIY calculator and a full valuation?
A: Think of the calculator as your “ballpark estimate” and the Opinion of Value as the full playbook. The Opinion of Value ($2,497) goes much deeper — factoring in your financials, market comparisons, and professional insights for a detailed analysis.
Q: Can I upgrade from a calculator to a full valuation later?
A: Absolutely. If you start with a calculator and later choose a full Opinion of Value, we’ll credit the $447 you spent toward the valuation.
Process & Support
Q: How long does it take to get results?
A: DIY calculators deliver instant results the moment you enter your numbers. A full Opinion of Value typically takes 7–10 business days.
Q: Do you offer refunds?
A: DIY calculators are non-refundable, since you receive immediate access. For the Opinion of Value service, please review our Refund Policy.
Q: What if I need help while using a calculator?
A: Every calculator comes with step-by-step instructions. If you run into questions, you can always email us at peter@decipherourvalue.com. I'm happy to help.
