Hi all,
Does anyone have a source for valuation multiples by company size or industry? Ideally looking for a breakdown by each. I searched the site and couldn't find many previous articles, but curious if there is a recent source.
Thanks in advance

However, if you are looking for valuations for small businesses making less than $1M or $2M EBITDA, then you need a different multiple and likely need to look at an SDE multiple similar to the chart on this page (ranging from 1x to 5x): https://www.islandbusinessbrokers.com/how-to-establish-the-proper-multiple-of-sde-and-justify-the-valuation/
Also, remember to compare sales and prices yourself.
