What is the business worth?
A market-anchored range with the assumptions on the table. Two minutes, no email, nothing stored.
Your business
Seller's discretionary earnings: profit plus owner salary, payroll taxes on it, and true personal expenses. The honest number, not the broker recast.
Service and repair reads as durable, repeat demand. The rest reads as new-construction or remodel project work.
Indicative market range
$300,000 to $412,500
2.00x to 2.75x of SDE
Where the range comes from
- Small owner-operated trade businesses are commonly quoted at 2.0x to 2.75x of SDE; scale, a manager layer, and durable service revenue push the multiple up, owner dependence pushes it down.
- The single biggest write-down buyers apply is an owner on the truck: the cash flow walks out with the seller.
Indicative band from commonly published SDE multiples for owner-operated trades; a verified comps pass is in progress and this band will tighten. Educational estimate, not an appraisal or an offer. Deal structure (cash vs seller note vs earnout) moves real proceeds more than the headline multiple.
