Adjustment Factors
How the Multiple Moves
Growth Rate
· 20%+ boosts · 10-19% neutral · 1-9% slight · 0% penalizes
Buyers are purchasing future revenue. Consistent growth trajectory commands a premium.
Partner Count
· 5+ boosts · 3-4 neutral · 1-2 penalizes
Single-partner dependency is the biggest risk factor buyers discount. Diversification is the fix.
Owner Hours
· <5 hrs boosts · 5-15 neutral · 15-25 slight penalty · 25+ heavy penalty
Lower owner involvement means the business runs more independently — a semi-passive asset is worth more.
Documentation Quality
· scales from 1 (none) to 5 (comprehensive SOPs)
Documented systems reduce the buyer's operational learning curve and transfer risk.
The Endgame
Most toll position operators shouldn't sell. A portfolio generating $8,000/month at 5 hours/week pays better than the exit proceeds invested at 7% in almost every scenario where revenue is stable or growing.
The right time to sell: you've lost interest, a strategic opportunity requires capital, revenue is declining, or a buyer offers a multiple so high that selling clearly beats holding.
