Recent Multiples? Small Consulting Firm

by an investor from The University of Chicago - Booth School of Business

Does anyone have recent data for multiples (revenue & earnings) for small (<$1M revenue) consulting firms in the management and financial advisory space? I am hearing generally 0.40x to 1.47x for revenue, can anyone corroborate?

Check out our DealStats transactions. https://www.searchfunder.com/bvr/search. DealStats will provide much more than multiples on 100% sold businesses. You can see multiples as well as individual deal data. It's the green button on the left hand side.

Try BizQuest, they have a section on earnings multiples from historic data on business purchases done on almost every sector you can find. In case you don't find your specific sector you can get a very good idea from other similar businesses that have been bought.
