What's the EBITDA spread for lending in service based businesses such as landscaping services, janitorial services, pest control services for companies below $2M in revenue?

I've not been able to find valuations using BVR in these group of industries, and would appreciate the assistance.

I can't speak to the others, but for landscaping services, I've seen 3-4x as fairly standard for that size category. If the client mix is predominantly commercial, that can go up. It can also be higher when a strategic buyer gets involved, as we're starting to see more consolidation in the industry, particularly for commercial maintenance. The other variable is location - multiples tend to be lower for landscape services in the snow belt. Feel free to message me directly, I'm happy to discuss in more detail.

Out of curiosity, and apologies if this is covered elsewhere - are there any plans for access to new / different databases in the future?

Not asking because I'm unhappy with IBISWorld, BVR or data axle - just wanted to know if there is anything else on the horizon.
