Valuing a Retail Trade Business
As part of a business valuation for a retail trade business, valuation experts assess various factors. First, they gather important financial data. Then, the business appraiser analyzes the business’s financial statements. Next, they will determine the most suitable valuation approach for valuing a retail trade business. This may include various methods such as the market approach, income approach, and/or the asset approach. At Peak Business Valuation, one of the most common approaches to value a retail trade business is the market approach.

Valuation Multiples for a Retail Trade Business
When valuing a retail trade business with the market approach, business appraisers rely on valuation multiples. Multiples for retail trade businesses are financial ratios. They compare a business’s value to various metrics such as sales, cash flow, and earnings. During a business appraisal, valuation analysts determine the most applicable multiples for a retail trade business. Some common valuation multiples for retail trade businesses include REV multiples, SDE multiples, and EBITDA multiples.

Value Drivers for a Retail Trade Business
Value drivers are factors that have a strong influence on a retail trade business’s value. During a business valuation, business appraisers assess various key value drivers for a retail trade business. By understanding a retail trade’s key value drivers, you can take steps to maximize the value of a retail trade business.
One of the first value drivers a valuation expert considers is traffic both physical and online. Retail trade businesses need to secure a location with high foot traffic. It is also immensely beneficial to have an eCommerce platform. This can help increase sales revenue and profitability. Additionally, business appraisers often consider a retail trade business’s product mix. Having a wide or strong product selection helps increase the demand for a retail trade business. This also attracts a diverse customer base and can boost sales revenue. See Value Drivers for a Retail Trade Business to learn more!
