[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you nuts? Only 4-5x profit? Seriously that is absurdly low. Table stakes are 8-10x profit.[/quote] NP but again, it depends! Multiples like that are typically for business with most, if not all, [i]recurring[/i] subscription revenue. If it's a professional services firm, maybe with cyclical business or a long sales cycle, the multiple could be quite low. Industry, pipeline, all these things matter. FWIW, I also agree that M&A is entirely different than running a business. I have 3 family members who own small businesses and NONE of them now how to do a valuation nor have they gotten one done - in spite of my steady pressure to do so. - Signed my DC mom who has managed the acquisition of 3 companies [/quote]
