^Searchfunder member‌ — totally depends on market segments served in my experience. At that size, I’d assume mostly resi, so relatively higher and better cash flows, but more difficult to scale. If C&I, could be slightly lower end of the range, but with more significant upside and scalability. Cash flows however could be constrained by slower terms. Need to delve deeper to understand the revenue mix.

12% is probably the median...but depending on the revenue mix anything between 10-15% could be a solid company
