Before you run the numbers
A buyer looks at what the business pays its owner each year: the profit, your own pay, and personal costs run through the business. Together that is called seller's discretionary earnings.
Businesses under $500,000 typically sell for about 2 times those earnings. Your trade, your location and how much the business depends on you move it up or down.
Tax returns are built to lower your taxes, so they understate what a buyer is paying for. Add those costs back and the number usually goes up. See one owner do it, line by line.
Worked example: $50,000 profit + $20,000 added back = $70,000 in earnings. At about 2 times, that is roughly $140,000. Multiple: IBBA and M&A Source Market Pulse, Q4 2025.
Guess from the profit line and you might say $40,000. Count the add-backs and use the market multiple, and the same business is worth about $140,000.

Most small businesses sell for 1.5 to 2.5 times what the owner really makes in a year. That means salary plus profit plus the personal things the business pays for. The proven number is almost always higher than the owner's guess.
If your business will sell for more than about $500,000, a broker makes sense. Below that, most brokers say no, or their $10,000 minimum fee eats your sale. We charge one flat fee and no commission.
Because your buyer's bank asks for exactly that. Three years also shows the true pattern, not one lucky or unlucky year. One salon's latest year looked bad. Three years proved it was one expensive hire, and that was worth tens of thousands on her price.
No. Most small business sales work through seller financing or a bank loan. Your package shows the exact monthly payment your buyer can afford.
Yes. Owners list their businesses here, shown blind to protect their staff and clients. Tell us a little about yourself, sign a short confidentiality agreement, and you get the details and a call with the owner. From there, the two of you make the deal.
No. You pay a flat monthly fee and we never take a cut of your sale. We write your blind listing, run the ads, screen every buyer, handle the confidentiality agreement, and send you a report every week. You and your buyer make the deal.
Once, at the end, for the closing papers. One flat fee, usually paid out of the sale money. We handle everything before that.
