FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a service business?
Prices vary depending on sales volume and financial performance, but the median asking price for a service business in the U.S. is approximately $312,338.
How much do service business owners earn?
These businesses vary in sales volume, but service business owners report median annual sales of $525,724 and annual owner earnings of $152,000. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.
How do I value a service business?
Valuing a service business involves considering several factors, including annual revenue, profit, owner earnings, growth (or decline) trends, and historical stability. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples of service businesses range from 0.43 to 1.08, with the median at 0.72. Earnings multiples range from 1.50 to 3.44, with the median at 2.43.
