FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a service business?

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.
