I've been learning more about deal ceiling, surprised that many companies even $5M EBITDA+ seem to still go in the 3x-5x range.
For us as buyers of much smaller entities- does this help us justify sub 4x multipliers to ourselves and the sellers we work with? I would say yes. Subway is a household name, yes with specific industry, but even they have not "strategic" exit at greater than 6.75x even at their scale and size?
