Calculating Intrinsic Value of a Small Business

[Forza]

I am unsure of how to calculate intrinsic value. Would someone who knows how to estimate intrinsic value give their estimate based on these figures for a small, privately owned business?

Usual price to (EBITDA) earnings ratio - 2.5:1 - 3.5:1
Revenue - $1,000,000
EBITDA Net Profit - $200,000
Current long term liabilities - $3,000
Book value of assets - $50,000


Wouldn't it make sense to calculate using after tax earnings?
