How do I value an ice cream or frozen yogurt shop business?
Valuing a business involves considering several factors, including annual sales, profit, growth (or decline) trends, and demographic trends of the local market. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples among ice cream and frozen yogurt businesses listed for sale in the U.S. range from 0.45 to 0.81, with the median at 0.63. Earnings multiples range from 2.08 to 3.56, with the median at 2.79.
