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

Here is a look at automotive related business. This analysis is based on  sales throughout Florida and give you some data regarding sales and pricing. Here are some numbers for you to ponder:

  • $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.
