Aggregated and anonymized buy-box data from 76 PE firms, family offices, search funders, and independent sponsors actively deploying capital in the U.S. lower middle market. Industry demand, EBITDA targeting, deal-structure preferences, geography.

Staffing companies typically sell for 0.3-0.6x revenue or 4-7x EBITDA. Specialty verticals (IT, healthcare, finance) and temp-to-perm models command higher multiples. Working capital intensity is the #1 deal-breaker.

Orthodontic practices command higher multiples than general dental: typically 1.0-1.5x revenue or 6-9x SDE. Patient pipeline value, retainer obligations, and DSO buyer competition (Smile Doctors, Heartland, Premier) drive the premium.

Most dental practices sell for 0.7-1.0x annual collections or 5-8x SDE. The exact multiple depends on specialty, payer mix, and buyer type (DSO vs individual dentist). Use this framework as a starting point.

How insurance agencies are actually valued: 1.5-3x annual commissions or 6-10x EBITDA. P&C vs life vs benefits multiples, retention math, and the difference between selling to a successor agent vs an aggregator.

How law firms are actually valued: 0.5-1.5x annual revenue or 2-4x SDE, with practice-area multiples that swing widely. Goodwill traps, partner buy-out structures, and why most firms sell to other lawyers.

How private equity funds actually work: LP capital sources (pensions, endowments, sovereign wealth), strategies (LBO, growth, distressed, mezz), return drivers (multiple expansion, EBITDA growth, debt paydown), and deal sourcing.

A PE recapitalization sells 51-80% of your business to a private equity firm while you keep 20-49% via rollover equity. The mechanics, the tax structure, the math on the ‘second bite,’ and when a recap is right.

Private equity and hedge funds are often lumped together — but they invest, hold, and pay differently. Liquidity, holding period, return targets, fee structures, and which one actually buys whole companies.

Why PE behaves the way it does — the GP/LP structure, 2-and-20 fees, 8% hurdle, capital calls, distributions, and 10-year fund life that drive every decision a PE buyer makes about your business.

Middle market PE targets businesses with $25M-$250M EBITDA. How institutional MM PE funds source deals, what diligence looks like, why they pay more (and demand more), and how to tell whether you’re ready to sell to one.

Lower middle market PE targets businesses with $1M-$25M EBITDA. How LMM funds source deals, what they pay, why they prefer add-ons, and how to tell whether an LMM PE buyer is the right exit for your business.

Venture capital, growth equity, leveraged buyouts, distressed/turnaround, and mezzanine. Each strategy targets different stages, check sizes, and ownership levels. The two that matter most to lower-middle-market sellers.

Most buyers don’t need a broker — most brokers represent sellers. When a buy-side advisor (broker, M&A advisor, or investment banker) actually pays for itself, what they cost, and how to choose the right one.

57 specific due diligence questions across financial, operational, legal, customer, HR, IT, and regulatory categories. The exact questions sophisticated buyers ask before they wire funds.

Dry cleaning is a stable cash-flow business with declining industry headwinds. Typical multiples 2-3x SDE, $200k-$500k purchase prices, and real risks — PERC compliance, aging equipment, and fuel costs. Here’s how to evaluate one.

Buying gives you cash flow, customers, and a team on day one. Starting gives you a clean slate and full equity. Here’s how to decide which path fits your capital, skills, and risk tolerance.

The tactical questions buyers ask in management meetings, customer calls, and employee interviews during diligence. Sample scripts, follow-ups, and the questions that surface what sellers don’t volunteer.

The complete pre-LOI question list for business buyers. 47 questions across 6 categories — financial, customer, operational, legal, strategic, seller motivation — that determine whether to write the LOI or walk.

How the working capital peg is calculated, why the 12-month trailing average is the most common methodology, how seasonality is handled, and how the post-close true-up works in lower-middle-market deals.

PE firms hold businesses 5-7 years — so they test more than the numbers. The 9 operational areas they investigate, the timeline, and the red flags that kill deals during diligence.

Financial due diligence is the buyer’s deep audit of revenue, EBITDA, working capital, and debt-like items. The full process, sell-side vs buy-side QoE, what testers look for, and what it costs ($25k-$100k+).

From the buyer’s perspective: how due diligence and earnest money work together to derisk a business acquisition. Timeline coordination, who controls each phase, and how contingency mechanics protect your deposit.

Earnest money is a good-faith deposit (1-5%, often $25k-$250k). Due diligence is the post-LOI investigation period (60-120 days). Here’s how they relate, when the deposit is at risk, and when it’s returned.

How earnouts work in business sales: revenue vs. EBITDA metrics, typical 24-36 month periods, why most sellers receive less than the headline number, and how to negotiate one that actually pays.

What an LOI to purchase a business should include before you reach for a PDF template. Template pitfalls, missing protections, and a section-by-section breakdown of every clause that actually matters.

How to write a letter of intent for a business purchase that actually gets signed. Price, timeline, financing, earnest money, and the credibility signals sellers look for before they say yes.

Realistic sale price ranges for lower-middle-market businesses. $1M-$25M EBITDA × 4-8x = $4M-$200M deal sizes. The factors that move you up the range, the ones that move you down, and a free calculator for a personalized estimate.

A practical calculator framework for sellers: EBITDA × industry multiple ± adjustments. Free instant estimate, plus when to pay $3-15k for a formal valuation. Worked examples for HVAC, SaaS, and professional services.

Federal capital gains, state taxes (CA 13.3%, NY 10.9%, TX/FL/WA 0%), QSBS exclusion up to $10M tax-free, installment sales, and Section 1042 rollover. Worked example: $5M sale by California resident.

Most lower-middle-market deals are ‘cash-free, debt-free.’ The seller keeps cash on the balance sheet, the buyer assumes none. Here’s exactly how it works, with worked examples and the working capital target.

Selling an ESOP-owned business is different from a normal sale. Trustee fiduciary duty, fairness opinions, repurchase obligations, and the Section 1042 rollover — what every selling shareholder needs to know.

Most owners think about exit. Few write it down. The 8 sections of a written exit strategy plan that turns ‘someday I’ll sell’ into a 12-36 month action plan with measurable value drivers and a contingency for death or disability.

Set the right asking price using industry multiples, comparable transactions, and the size/growth premium. The pricing psychology that determines whether you get bids or get ignored.

Relative valuation prices a business by comparing it to similar businesses that have sold. Learn how to find comps, choose between public comps and precedent transactions, adjust for size and growth, and where to source data (PitchBook, BVR, BizBuySell, IBBA, SEC).

The asset approach values a business based on what it owns, not what it earns. Learn the Adjusted Net Asset Value method, orderly vs forced liquidation, and when asset approach is appropriate — plus why it’s usually a floor, not a ceiling.

The fastest, most honest way to estimate what your business is worth. Free calculator, quick formula (EBITDA × industry multiple ± adjustments), when to get a paid formal valuation, and the six factors that move your number 50-100%.

Two businesses, same industry, same EBITDA — one sells for 4x, the other for 7x. Why? Six drivers buyers actually score: size, growth, recurring revenue, customer concentration, management depth, and market position. With a scoring framework you can apply before you go to market.

What multiple should your business sell for? A 2026 industry-by-industry breakdown of EBITDA multiples for lower-middle-market deals: home services 4-6x, SaaS 8-15x, manufacturing 5-7x, and what drives the spread inside each band.

Industry rules of thumb give a starting valuation range: HVAC at 0.5x revenue, accounting at 1x fees, dental at 0.7x-1x collections. Here are 15 industry rules of thumb — with sources, caveats, and how to use them.

Five valuation methods set the price of every lower-middle-market deal: market multiples, DCF, asset approach, rules of thumb, and precedent transactions. Here’s when each one is used — and which one buyers actually pay.

DCF valuation projects 5 years of cash flow, adds a terminal value, and discounts everything to today. Here’s how owner-operators of $1M-$25M EBITDA businesses should think about DCF — and why EBITDA multiples still rule.

How a company valuation calculator differs from a small business calculator, the four valuation approaches calculators apply, and when to use each one for private companies in the lower middle market.

How online business valuation calculators work, why they get the headline number wrong, and the EBITDA × multiple framework professional buyers actually use to value lower-middle-market businesses.

30-50% of lower-middle-market deals include seller financing. The 7 terms that decide whether the note is a fair deal or a trap, when to demand a personal guarantee, and how to structure the security.

Sellers sign non-competes in 95%+ of M&A deals. The 4 dimensions buyers negotiate (duration, geography, industry, activity), what's enforceable in 2026, and how to avoid being locked out of your industry for 5 years.

Escrow holdback is 5-15% of your purchase price held for 12-24 months to fund indemnification claims. The mechanics, the negotiation levers, and why R&W insurance can shrink it to zero.

The Definitive Purchase Agreement (DPA) is the binding contract that closes the deal — not the LOI. Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA) vs Asset Purchase Agreement (APA), the 12 sections that matter, and what changes between LOI and signing.

Reps & warranties are the seller’s post-close liability. The 8 categories of reps, typical survival periods, indemnification caps, escrow holdbacks — and how R&W insurance can convert seller risk into a one-time premium.

One customer over 20% of revenue can cost you 1-2x EBITDA in your sale price — or kill the deal entirely. The buyer math, the de-risking strategies, and how to position concentration in diligence.

Strategic, PE Platform, PE Add-On, Search Fund, Independent Sponsor — five buyer archetypes pay different multiples and demand different deal structures. Pick wrong and leave 1-2x EBITDA on the table.

Owner add-back disputes are the #1 reason LOIs re-trade. The 12 categories of legitimate add-backs, the 8 buyers reject, and the documentation that makes each defensible.

SDE applies to small businesses ($0-1M); EBITDA applies above $2M. The threshold matters because the multiple math is dramatically different. What each is, when each applies, and how to read your own number.

Rollover equity lets you keep skin in the game with the new owner — and gives you a 'second bite of the apple' at the next sale. The 4 scenarios when it's a great deal, and the 3 when it's a trap.

About 1 in 4 signed LOIs in lower-middle-market home services M&A break before close. The seven specific reasons buyers walk away — and how to pre-empt each.

The difference between an asset sale and stock sale is rarely cosmetic — it's typically 10-15% of the seller's after-tax proceeds. How each structure works, who pays what, and how to negotiate the structure that fits.

A sell-side Quality of Earnings (QoE) report typically returns 5-10x its $25-50k cost in higher LOI prices and prevents most buyer re-trades. What's in a QoE, how to read one, and the 12 line items every buyer attacks.

The working capital peg is the most under-negotiated line in most LOIs — and it routinely costs sellers 5-15% of headline price. How the peg is calculated, who controls it, and how to push back.

Most home services M&A earnouts realize 60-80% of face value. The 4 earnout structures, what to negotiate, and the 7 traps that wipe out the upside.

A Letter of Intent (LOI) is mostly non-binding—except the exclusivity clause that locks you in. The 7 LOI terms that decide your final number, the post-LOI 60-120 day timeline, and the buyer types you'll negotiate with.
