How to price a business: pricing multiples

The pricing multiples are statistically derived factors that relate the business financial performance to its potential selling price:

  • Price divided by business revenue.
  • Price divided by seller's discretionary cash flow.
  • Price divided by business net income.
  • Price divided by EBITDA, EBIT, EBT, or gross margin.
  • Price divided by business assets.

For example, to estimate the business selling price you can take its revenue and multiply it by the selling price to revenue pricing multiple.
