Take Five #111: Ways to increase business value through revenue quality (not quantity), and more
1. Some recent e-commerce SMB exit figures and valuation analysis
We spent the last 2 months analyzing 70 SMBs (eCom & Amazon) that exited between January 1, 2023–May 15, 2023 to get you better data on where SMB multiples currently are.
M&A Note: Multiples is the multiplier of Earnings (what we call EBITDA/Net Income) to understand how much the biz is worth. (Biz X made $1m in Net Income. With a 3x multiple, it’s worth $3m for someone else to buy it.)
Context to know:
-Total offers: 187 (2.7 offers/deal)
-Total transaction value: $84.7m
-Transaction range: $34k–$7.25m
-Median multiple: 3x
-Median earnings/biz: $382.6k/biz/yr
Note: The data that we’re analyzing is what these bizs closed for. Not what they were asking originally.
