How Much Is Your Florida Ice Cream/Yogurt/Ice Related Business Worth?

A question on the top of every business owner’s mind is, “How much is my business worth?”

With year end approaching, I thought this would be a good time to update you on ice cream/yogurt/ice related business sales throughout Florida and give you some data regarding sales and pricing. Here are some numbers for you to ponder:
  • 10 = the number of ice cream/yogurt/ice related businesses sold in the last twelve months by the Business Broker of Florida Association members.
  • $256,351 = the average revenue of the 10 sold ice cream/yogurt/ice related businesses.
  • $98,750 = the average sold price of the 10 sold ice cream/yogurt/ice related businesses.
  • $56,633 = the average owner benefit generated in each sold ice cream/yogurt/ice related business.
  • 0.39 = the revenue multiple (sold price divided by revenue) of the 10 sold ice cream/yogurt/ice related businesses.
  • 1.74 = the owner benefit multiple (sold price divided by owner benefit) of the 10 sold ice cream/yogurt/ice related businesses.
  • 96% = the average percentage down payment of the 10 sold ice cream/yogurt/ice related businesses.
  • 261= the average number of days on the market of the 10 sold ice cream/yogurt/ice related businesses.
What does this mean?
Ice cream/yogurt/ice related businesses are in 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 ice cream/yogurt/ice related business, now is a great time! Please contact me for a no obligation discussion.
