You want to sell a bronze foundry? Then it is good to know what the acquisition market in the field of bronze foundries looks like. As is well known, copper is an indispensable element and therefore largely determines the market in this field.
The bronze industry is very limited in our country and therefore the number of consolidations has been nil over the past few years.
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).
For the industrial & manufacturing sector - which includes bronze foundries - an indicative EBITDA multiple range of 4.6 to 5.5 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).
