You want to sell your parquet business? Then it's good to know what the takeover market in the parquet business area looks like. The general demand for wood has increased tremendously recently. Parquet also remains an attractive option in the luxury segment of home furnishings.
The number of consolidations in this industry is currently peaking significantly, after being mostly stable 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, the sector to which parquet stores belong, 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).

A number of trends and developments will inevitably cause changes over the next few years, but also offer parquet business many growth and acquisition opportunities:
Parquet is and will always be a luxury prodict. Houten floors can be quite expensive, but because of their many advantages, consumers often change their minds anyway. The trade magazine "Houtwereld" emphasizes the advantages of wood as a building material: the material has a stress-relieving effect, is sustainable and has a positive impact on the stitching problem. But parquet floors are increasingly losing out to PVC floors. These floors often closely resemble real parquet, but are more compatible with underfloor heating and easier to maintain.
Consumers will be doing plenty of home and garden remodeling in the coming years, as home enjoyment has become more important. And parquet is still high on the list of current flooring trends due to its natural look and numerous shades.
