You want to sell your asbestos company? Then it's good to know what the takeover market in the asbestos company field looks like.
For several years, the industry has been on the rise, and this growth is expected to continue as society becomes more aware and laws and regulations become stricter.
There are many ways to value a business. A common method of expressing the value of a business is "a factor x gross annual profit." This factor is also called multiple and another designation for gross annual profit is EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization).
In the construction and installation technology sector, to which an asbestos company belongs, an indicative EBITDA multiple range of 3.7 to 4.7 is currently used, according to the Brookz Takeover Barometer. The average EBITDA multiple across all SME sectors is 4.90.
The valuation of a business is often the starting point for negotiations between buyer and seller. The outcome of these negotiations is the final sales price. So valuation and price are two different quantities. Besides valuation, the price is also determined by possible scarcity in the market, bargaining power of the parties, the strategic value of the business for the buyer and possible synergy effects for the buyer (cost savings, purchasing advantages).
