You want to sell your plumbing business? Then it's good to know what the takeover market in the plumbing business field looks like. Sustainability and an increase in subscription requests are central to the installation industry. The industry is booming and a consolidation storm has been going on for several years.
The demand in the industry need not be lacking; the number of consolidations is above average.
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 & installation technology sector, which includes a masonry company, 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).

A number of trends and developments will inevitably cause changes over the next few years, but also offer masonry companies many growth and acquisition opportunities:
There is a structural shortage of skilled personnel. Young people do not readily choose masonry, partly because of the heavy workload, so there is hardly any recruitment. Older, skilled craftsmen are retiring or leaving the industry because of physical problems.
Materials in construction need to be more sustainable and working methods more innovative. In non-residential construction, where masons mainly move, construction must be increasingly flexible, faster and more unique. New techniques, such as the masonry robot, allow faster and more precise work. In addition, it is possible to work form-free, to which special adhesive mortar also contributes, according to Rabobank.
