Terms of Use

Last updated: August 25, 2026

Educational estimate only

Profit Lights provides an educational estimate only and does not provide a certified, professional, accounting, tax, legal or investment valuation. Actual business value may vary significantly based on financial records, assets, liabilities, location, market conditions, deal structure, buyer demand and other factors.

Nothing on this site is financial, legal, tax, or investment advice. If you're making a real decision about buying, selling, or valuing a business, consult a qualified professional such as a certified business appraiser, accountant, or attorney.

No obligation

Using this tool does not obligate you to sell your business, list it for sale, or take any other action.

Accuracy

I aim to base the valuation methodology on credible, sourced data, but small-business valuation is inherently imprecise with limited information. I make no guarantee that any estimate produced by this tool reflects what your business would actually sell for.

Acceptable use

Please use this tool for its intended purpose: getting an informal, educational sense of what your business might be worth. Don't attempt to misuse, disrupt, or reverse-engineer the site.

Changes

I may update these terms, the site, or the valuation methodology at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.

Limitation of liability

I'm not liable for any decisions made based on estimates provided by this tool. The tool is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
