/The FIJI model
Built for brokerage economics, not spreadsheet shortcuts
Traditional valuations often stop at a trailing EBITDA multiple. FIJI layers market context, operating structure, and forward performance into one coherent model.
Market-calibrated ranges
Benchmarks grounded in how buyers and investors actually underwrite brokerage businesses.
Operating structure, not just revenue
Agent productivity, owner dependency, and organizational health shape the range — not top-line alone.
Forward-looking forecast
Three-year free cash flow projections stress-test whether current trends can hold.
Peer-relative positioning
Financial strength is compared against similar-sized firms, not generic industry averages.
Decision-grade definitions
Metrics and drivers are defined clearly enough to share in a board packet or diligence room.
/Inside the model
Three layers that drive every FIJI valuation
Each determination combines financial analysis, operational structure, and market positioning into a single fair market value range.
Operational structure
Whether value survives beyond current ownership and day-to-day operations.
- Leadership and owner dependency
- Systems and organizational health
- Agent roster productivity
Market positioning
Where the firm sits relative to peers and competitive threats.
- Market presence and competitive context
- Transaction comparables and precedent
- Franchise or independent economics
