Valuation Details
The Firm Business Brokerage used a Cash Flow Valuation methodology to determine the Purchase Price of the business.
The formula used is as follows:
Cash Flow x Prescribed Multiple = Fair Market Value
Cash Flow is the sum of business net income plus any owner perks and any non-onward going expenses.
A multiple is prescribed by a 20 question, 100-point parameter ranking system that is used to analyze the current business health. Each question is based on a scale from 1 to 5: 1 being low, 2 below average, 3 average, 4 above average, 5 high. The average of the responses sum is the business’ prescribed multiple.
For this business, a 2017 Cash Flow was used with a prescribed multiple is 4.8. With this information, the computation is as follows:
$493,872 x 4.8 = $2,370,585
The Fair Market Value found above positions the business List Price at $2,350,000
Funding Example
Purchase Price: $2,350,000
10%Buyer Down Payment: $235,000
15%Seller Financing: $352,500
75%Bank Loan: $1,762,500
Seller Financing 6-year term at a rate of 4% equals a monthly loan payment of $5,515
Bank Loan 10-year term at a rate of 5.75% equals a monthly loan payment of $19,347
After business expenses and loan payments, a buyer with a 10% down payment of $235,000 would retain a profit of $195,531, which results in an 83% return on investment in the first year.
A lender is required to have a minimum 1.5 coverage ratio for any business loans extended. At a proposed Purchase Price of $2,350,000 with the terms listed above, the coverage ratio is 1.66.
Please note that the decision of whether to extend a loan on any sale belongs to the bank, and this document does not guarantee specific terms or verify that financing is available.
