You want to sell your roofing company? Then it's good to know what the takeover market in terms of roofing companies looks like.
Roofers currently have plenty of work, as can be seen from the number of consolidations. The acquisition market in roofing is in full business.
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 roofing 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 roofing companies many growth and acquisition opportunities:
In major cities, there is an ever-increasing demand for roofing contractors. Due to the high demand for housing, there is little time and space to buy a home to your liking. As a result, starters and young families in particular are choosing to have a storey put on their home.
Green roofs are becoming increasingly popular. People with gardens are increasingly investing in drainage, greenery and sustainable materials, but green roofs are also on the rise. These sedum roofs are good for the environment, is a reason to receive subsidies and is conducive to biodiversity.
In addition to green roofs, multi-purpose roofs are increasingly being used. In cities, space is very limited and by combining functions on top of parking garages, decommissioned railroad lines and office buildings, sufficient livable space can still be created. This also requires different skills and abilities from roofers.
