WORKED MARKET REFERENCE

How the two common methods compare

For an example online & technology business with $1,000,000 in annual revenue and $250,000 in SDE:

SDE method$820,000$250,000 × 3.28
Revenue method$1,090,000$1,000,000 × 1.09

The indications can differ because margins vary. A personalized market reference should use the company’s actual revenue and normalized SDE, then consider transferability and deal terms separately.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Reading this online & technology business benchmark

What is the average online & technology business cash-flow multiple?

Reported sales in this category average 3.28× seller’s discretionary earnings and 1.09× annual revenue. The reported median sale price is $850,000.

How should I use the 3.28× multiple?

Apply it first to normalized SDE, not tax-return profit without review. Then cross-check the revenue method and examine the business-specific risks a buyer would inherit.

Does this tell me exactly what my online & technology business is worth?

No. It is a reported-sale average, not an appraisal or offer. Company size, margins, growth, transferability, assets, liabilities, geography, and deal terms can produce a different outcome.

The separate businessvaluation.fyi index adds privacy-protected transaction counts for the broader online & technology sector as of 2026-08-14; it does not expose individual deals or valuation multiples. These are useful relative indicators, not a formal appraisal, offer, or complete census.
