Buy or Sell a Service Business

Acquisitions of service business are on the rise, and it’s easy to see why. Service businesses provide niche professional support to customers and cover a wide range of industries. The benefits of owning a service business include operational flexibility, high profitability, low overhead costs, minimal inventory and supplies, and the possibility of generating multiple revenue streams. One of the primary advantages of buying an existing service business is that it comes with established credibility in the market.

For those in the market to buy or sell a service business, it’s crucial to gain an understanding of how the market values these businesses, and what average financial performance looks like. To that end, we have aggregated listings data to surface current valuation multiples and typical financials of service businesses.

FAQs

How much does it cost to buy a service business?

How much do service business owners earn?

These businesses vary in sales volume, but service business owners report median annual sales of $525,724 and annual owner earnings of $152,000. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.

How do I value a service business?

Valuing a service business involves considering several factors, including annual revenue, profit, owner earnings, growth (or decline) trends, and historical stability.

Revenue multiples of service businesses range from 0.43 to 1.08, with the median at 0.72. Earnings multiples range from 1.50 to 3.44, with the median at 2.43.
