FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a security business?
The median asking price for a security company is approximately $642,500. However, this can vary significantly depending on the size, location, and financial performance of the store.
How much do security business owners earn?
On average, security business owners report median annual sales of $642,403 and annual owner earnings of $243,072. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.
How do I value a security company?
Valuing a security business involves considering several factors, including annual revenue, profit margins, and market conditions. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Security company revenue/sales multiples range from 0.61 to 1.31, with the median at 0.96. Earnings multiples range from 2.17 to 3.92, with the median at 2.70. These values suggest a typical security business will sell for around 0.96 times its annual revenue, and 2.7 times its annual owner’s earnings.
