    Coffee Shop Valuation Calculator

    A UK coffee shop is worth its adjusted annual earnings multiplied by a factor set mainly by lease security — roughly 0.5× on a lease under three years and up to 2.8× on ten years or more. Enter the site's real numbers below to see the goodwill range the trade would actually support, and which figures should pull the price down.

    What the calculator cannot see

    A valuation model works on the numbers you give it. On a real acquisition the price is decided by things that never appear in a listing: the schedule of dilapidations attached to the lease, whether the rent review is upward-only, how much of the trade walks out with the owner, and whether the equipment has service history. We check those before an offer goes in.
