Strategic Acquirers
Companies in your industry or adjacent markets looking to grow through acquisition. They bring operational synergies, existing infrastructure, and are often willing to pay a premium for the right fit.

Typically pay 3.5x-6x SDE
Private Equity & Search Funds
Professional investors with capital deployed specifically to acquire and grow businesses. They look for strong cash flow, growth potential, and solid operations.
Who: PE firms, family offices, independent sponsors, search fund operators
Typically pay 3x-5x SDE
Individual Buyers
Experienced operators and entrepreneurs looking to acquire a business to run. They value lifestyle fit, manageable size, and proven cash flow.
Who: Former executives, serial entrepreneurs, first-time buyers with industry experience
Typically pay 2.5x-4x SDE
