Our role is to guide all parties through the business sale process from start to finish. We provide all parties free guest access to our patent-pending 5 STEP RESALE PROGRAM: a defined resale program used to effectively educate and efficiently communicate each step of the business sale process (eliminating surprises). Without this process, units are slow to sell or even close down and bring down the overall team. With the help of FRANCHISE CLEARLY, I assure you we will make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a service business?
Prices vary depending on sales volume and financial performance, but the median asking price for a service business in the U.S. is approximately $312,338.
How much do service business owners earn?
These businesses vary in sales volume, but service business owners report median annual sales of $525,724 and annual owner earnings of $152,000. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.
How do I value a service business?
Valuing a service business involves considering several factors, including annual revenue, profit, owner earnings, growth (or decline) trends, and historical stability. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples of service businesses range from 0.43 to 1.08, with the median at 0.72. Earnings multiples range from 1.50 to 3.44, with the median at 2.43. These values indicate that a typical service business may sell for around 0.72 times its annual revenue, and 2.43 times its annual owner’s earnings.
