How this is calculated＋

Small businesses typically sell on a multiple of adjusted profit (SDE/EBITDA - profit with your wage, interest and one-offs added back). We start from typical Australian industry bands, then adjust for the four drivers buyers actually price: owner-dependence, recurring revenue, growth trend and customer concentration. A revenue floor (0.25–0.5×) catches businesses whose value is in the book, not current profit.

  • “Adjusted profit” matters: add back your own market-rate wage, personal expenses and genuine one-offs.
  • Real sales also weigh assets, lease terms, staff, IP and deal structure (earn-outs, vendor finance).

Thinking of selling in the next few years? LINK Advisors do formal valuations and exit planning - the multiple is buildable.

A rule-of-thumb range, not a formal valuation. Actual prices depend on diligence, deal structure and market conditions at the time.
