Common Questions

Selling a Boat / Marine Services: What Owners Ask

How is my business valued?
Most small businesses sell based on a multiple of Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) — your net profit plus your salary, one-time expenses, and other owner benefits. Multiples typically range from 2.0× to 4.0× depending on industry, growth trend, lease quality, and how dependent the business is on you personally.
How long does it take to sell a business?
The average small business takes four to twelve months from listing to close. Well-prepared businesses with clean financials, documented systems, and a reasonable price expectation move faster. The most common delay is financing — SBA loans add 60 to 90 days to a close.
Will my employees and customers find out?
Not if you handle it correctly. Confidentiality is standard practice in business sales. We use blind profiles, NDAs before sharing financials, and strategic disclosure only when a buyer is qualified and serious. Most employees don't learn about a sale until after it closes.
