Frequently Asked Questions
How is a small business valued?
Small businesses are typically valued using: (1) EBITDA multiple (most common) — 3-8x earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation; (2) Revenue multiple — more common for high-growth or SaaS businesses; (3) Asset-based — useful for asset-heavy businesses; (4) Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) — complex but most theoretically rigorous.
What multiple is typical for selling a business?
Typical EBITDA multiples: service businesses 3-5x, SaaS 8-15x, retail 3-5x, manufacturing 4-7x, e-commerce 4-8x. Multiples rise with: strong recurring revenue, low customer concentration, proven management team, clean financials, growth trajectory and proprietary IP or brand. Multiples have compressed since 2022 as rates rose.
What makes a business worth more?
Value drivers: recurring/predictable revenue (subscriptions beat project work), diversified customer base (no single client over 15%), documented processes that work without the owner, strong margins, IP or brand moat, growth trajectory, clean books audited for 3 years, and a strong management team. Address these before any planned sale.
