How to use these benchmarks

These figures summarize reported business-for-sale transaction data and are intended as directional market benchmarks. Individual businesses can trade above or below these ranges based on size, margins, recurring revenue, owner involvement, location, customer concentration, and the quality of the financial records. The SBA lending and employment benchmarks available to Pro members come from separate public datasets.
