How are small businesses valued?
Most sell for a multiple of Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE), typically 2–4x depending on industry, growth and how dependent the business is on the owner.
How long does a sale take?
Six to twelve months is typical from preparation to closing. Good records shorten it considerably.
Can buyers get financing?
Yes. SBA 7(a) loans often cover up to 90% of the price, and seller financing frequently fills the gap.
Is my sale kept confidential?
Always. Buyers sign an NDA before they learn your business name or see financials.
