Multiples for Machine Shops in the sub 2MM EBITDA Range?

by a searcher from University of Massachusetts at Lowell

8 months ago

I'm not finding a lot of good relevant comps for machine shops in the US for the last couple of years. 

For the leads I'm getting from my funnel, multiples on 1-2MM EBITDA are in the 5-6X range, which seems high? It really forces you to the edge of DCR that most SBA banks are looking for. 

Curious to see what everyone's experience is.
