How it works
Main Street businesses (under ~$2M profit) are usually valued on SDE, net income plus owner salary, benefits, interest, tax, depreciation, and one-time expenses. Lower-middle-market deals ($2M-$25M EBITDA) use EBITDA multiples. Multiples vary by industry, size, growth, and buyer type.
Typical SDE multiples: services 2-3.5x, e-commerce 3-5x, SaaS 4-8x. Get a professional valuation before selling or buying.
