Find independently owned companies, and see what similar ones sold for

Screen on ownership as well as figures: owners of an age to sell, no corporate owner, good margins, no borrowing. Then assess the financials and compare the prices paid for similar acquisitions.

  1. Start from a ready-made screen, such as Owners nearing retirement, and narrow it to a town.
  2. Open a company: its accounts, how it is owned, the board, and its lenders from the charges it has registered.
  3. Price it from deals in its sector: the median value to turnover, read from buyers' own accounts.
