I am looking for guidance on EBITDA multiples by industry / company size. Anyone have any tips?

There's a really wide range here as you'd expect based on industry and size. If you're below the $1.5M EBITDA threshold, you're probably in the 3-5X range.
In a competitive bidding situation on a high-quality business, you're probably closer to 4x or 4.5x (as much as I wish it were lower).
But if the owner either runs a smaller business (<$750k) or is specifically motivated in preserving something non-monetary, then you might be closer to the 3-4X range.
