Setting the right asking price is crucial when selling your business. Price it too high and you will deter serious buyers. Price it too low and you leave money on the table.
Common Valuation Methods
The most widely used methods in Australia include the earnings multiplier approach, asset-based valuation, and discounted cash flow analysis. Each method suits different types of businesses.
Earnings Multiplier
This is the most common method for small to medium businesses. It involves multiplying the business’s annual net profit by an industry-specific factor, typically ranging from 1.5x to 4x depending on the sector and growth prospects.
