A question on the top of every business owner’s mind is, “how much is my business worth?”
With season end approaching, I thought this would be a good time to update you on automotive business sales throughout Florida and give you some data regarding sales and pricing. Here are some numbers for you to ponder:
26 = the number of automotive businesses sold in the last twelve months by the Business Broker of Florida Association members.
$1,094,053= the average revenue of the 26 sold automotive businesses.
$371,257 = the average sold price of the 26 sold automotive businesses.
$148,394= the average owner benefit generated in each sold automotive business.
0.364 = the revenue multiple (sold price divided by revenue) of the 26 sold automotive businesses.
2.5 = the owner benefit multiple (sold price divided by owner benefit) of the 26 sold automotive businesses.
81% = the average percentage down payment of the 26 sold automotive businesses.
346 = the average number of days on the market of the 26 sold automotive businesses.
What does this mean?
Automotive businesses are in high demand. And, in spite of a more conservative and cash strapped buying clientele, they are still paying near historical multiples with a percent down not realized in many other industries. If you have been contemplating selling your automotive business, now is a great time! Please contact me for a no obligation discussion.
