You want to sell your electronics store? Then it's good to know what the takeover market in the field of electronics stores looks like.
The electronics industry is in a state of flux and this is reflected in the number of mergers and acquisitions. With a number of 70 mergers and acquisitions, this is a high in recent 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).
In the retail sector, which includes an electronics retailer, an indicative range of EBITDA multiple of 1.9 to 3.0 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).
