Your Business, Clearly valued
Exit Planning Valuation Reports for UK SMEs
At Kyzote, we believe every business has a story — and every exit deserves the right number. We’re an independent UK exit planning specialist, giving SME owners the clarity to sell with confidence. Our Exit Planning Valuation Reports go further than a figure: we show you which specific factors are holding your value back, and the concrete steps to close the gap before you go to market. Independent, rigorous, and priced as a smart investment ahead of your exit — not a fee that eats into the proceeds.
What we do?
Kyzote is built for business owners who are actively thinking about their exit — whether that’s in the next 12 months or the next few years. If you’re planning to sell, preparing for a management buyout, or simply want to understand what’s driving (or dragging on) your valuation before you start that process, this is for you. The earlier you know where the gaps are, the more time you have to close them.
Why choose Kyzote?
We don’t just tell you what your business is worth today — we show you what’s suppressing that number and what it would take to move it, so you go into a sale process with a defensible number and a clear story of value already in motion.
Every valuation is prepared personally by an ACA-qualified Chartered Accountant (ICAEW) — bringing the same professional standards as the large firms to every report, without the large-firm price tag.
How can we help you?
If you’re planning to sell in the next few years, the businesses that get the best outcome start preparing early. One conversation with Kyzote is the first step to knowing not just what your business is worth today, but what it could be worth by the time you go to market.
Independent & Impartial
Every valuation we produce is fully independent, giving you a number you can defend at the negotiating table.
Built for SMEs
We specialise exclusively in UK SMEs preparing to exit, so you’re dealing with someone who understands exactly what buyers look for.
Transparent Methodology
Our valuations are grounded in recognised, sensitivity-tested methodology — clearly explained, so you understand exactly how your number was reached.
Beyond the Number
A valuation tells you where you stand. We show you why — and exactly what to fix before you go to market.
Strictly Confidential
Everything you share with us is treated with the utmost confidentiality — your information is never shared without your consent.
SME-Friendly Pricing
Institutional-grade rigour, without the institutional price tag — so the fee doesn’t eat into your exit proceeds.
Your journey to a finished valuation
Six steps take you from a first conversation to a valuation you can defend.
01
We Connect
A call by phone or through the site to understand your business, timeline, and needs — no obligation.
02
We Engage
A formal engagement letter sets out exactly what to expect and when, so nothing is a surprise.
03
We Gather
A tailored questionnaire collects the detail that shapes your valuation — thoroughness sharpens the result.
04
We Draft
Your valuation is built against recognised methodologies and brought together into a draft report.
05
We Review
A direct conversation to walk through the draft, answer questions, and sharpen the final picture.
06
We Deliver
Your finalised, signed-off report — clear, professional, and ready to support the decisions ahead.
What your report actually includes
Not a single figure and a shrug — six things that make your valuation defensible and useful.
01
A cross-Checked Valuation
We build your value using three recognised methodologies — earnings multiple, revenue multiple, and discounted cash flow — rather than relying on a single, unexamined figure.
02
A Tested Value Range
Your valuation is stress-tested against realistic best- and worst-case scenarios, so you understand not just your number, but exactly what moves it.
03
A 12-Point Exit-Readiness Assessment
We score your business across the factors buyers scrutinise most in due diligence — from management depth to customer concentration — so you know exactly where you stand.
04
A Prioritised Action Plan
Every readiness gap is linked to a specific initiative and a realistic timeframe, so you know precisely what to work on and how long it takes to close it.
05
A Clear Executive Summary
No dense spreadsheets to decode — your findings are distilled into a summary you can act on, or share directly with advisors, a partner, or a future buyer.
06
Built Around Your Business
This isn’t a templated output. Every report reflects your specific sector, structure, and circumstances — prepared by a qualified accountant, not generated by a calculator.
Sectors We Understand
Exit readiness looks different by industry. Whichever sector you’re in, we know what buyers will scrutinise.
“Amazing Service and Quality Work!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions about our products and services.
Yes. We build every valuation using recognised, industry-standard methodologies — the same ones used in professional due diligence — so your report is designed to stand up to scrutiny, not just satisfy curiosity.
Most accountants can give you a ballpark figure, but few go further. A Kyzote report is prepared by an ACA-qualified specialist, cross-checked across three valuation methods, and paired with a full exit-readiness assessment — showing you not just a number, but what’s shaping it and how to improve it.
No. We work with SME owners across the UK. Everything from your initial call through to your final report can be handled remotely, wherever your business is based.
That’s exactly what the exit-readiness assessment is for. A lower-than-hoped figure isn’t the end of the conversation — it’s the starting point for a clear, prioritised plan to close the gap before you go to market.
Very much so. The initiatives that move a valuation most can take 12 months or longer to take effect. The earlier you know where you stand, the more time you have to act on it.
Our fee is fixed and transparent — no hourly rates, no scope creep, and a fraction of what the large accounting firms typically charge for the same depth of analysis. Our pricing reflects the size and complexity of your business. Confirm pricing on a call so you know exactly what to expect before you commit.
We walk you through every finding in a follow-up conversation, so you leave with a clear understanding of your number and your priorities — not just a document to file away.
Every month without a plan is a month you can’t get back before exit
The initiatives that move your valuation most take 12 months or more to take effect — which means the best time to find out where you stand is well before you need the answer. Book a short call with Kyzote and get a clear picture of what your business is worth today, and what it could be worth.
