Restoration Brokers of America
Serving Orange County, FL
The restoration industry is a world of its own. It has a distinct language, a singular market presence. I started RBA 15 years ago when I recognized that you can’t sell Mary’s Muffin Shop one day and explain TPA work to a buyer the next. It won’t work. Restoration is unique, and it’s all we do. Your average business brokerage is highly transactional; RBA focuses on partnerships. We want to understand every business we sell, be in your shoes as a buyer or seller, and learn about your success goals and aspirations. When we take a business to market, we are in this together. We believe in a collaborative approach, and the RBA Team is here to ensure the value of every business and to pinpoint the best buyer. We are Restoration Specialists, well versed in the industry with a genuine desire to help others and a patient, yet firm, approach. We reach success when you have success.

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.
