How Much Is My Transportation Company Worth in Concord NC

No doubt, there is a lot to consider when selling a business, take a look at the below to focus on finding your staffing company value. 

Focus On Earnings

Good buyers focus on the potential earnings from your business and the future risks to achieve that stream of income.

So, what exactly are earnings?  The most common measure is EBITDA – Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization.

Because a buyer may have a different tax rate and a different capital structure, they exclude your unique tax rate and interest payments.  Similarly, depreciation and amortization are non-cash expenses, and companies may have varying accounting policies regarding how items are depreciated or amortized, so buyers typically look at earnings before these non-cash expenses.

Calculate EBITDA

EBITDA is an attempt to measure cash flow from the business on an apples-to-apples basis

In order to calculate EBITDA, start with your net income before corporate taxes, add back your interest expense, depreciation, and amortization, if any, to arrive at EBITDA.

Apply The Appropriate Valuation Multiple

Look at the table below and multiply your Adjusted EBITDA by the respective EBITDA multiple given your industry and EBITDA size.  For example, if you own a healthcare company with $1 million in EBITDA, multiply it by 5.5x and the valuation is $5.5 million.

A complete or formal valuation will include other analysis and computations, but this provides a quick (and dirty as we say) value range for your company.
