You want to sell your interior construction company? Then it is good to know what the takeover market in the field of interior construction companies looks like.
The number of mergers and acquisitions has fluctuated between 20 and 30 for years, and with the current trends in the construction industry, the number of consolidations will only increase.
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 construction and installation technology, the industry to which interior construction companies belong, an indicative EBITDA multiple range of 3.7 to 4.7 currently applies, 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).
