Plymouth Financial Group
Serving Montgomery County, PA
1. We only take listing we can sell. Most brokers will take every listing they can, with a deal success rate of less than 33%. At Plymouth Financial Group, we only take listing we are confident we can sell. Before any listing is taken-at no cost to the seller-a professional from Plymouth sits down with the seller and explains the sales process, develops a value for the business, reviews all options to sell the business, and determines if Plymouth Financial Group and the seller are right for each other. 2. No Upfront fee! Most of the fax services and listing groups are looking for upfront fees of $4,000 to $25,000, not Plymouth Financial Group. All fees to Plymouth are 100% success based. If we do not sell your business, you owe us Nothing. 3. Marketing Campaign, Plymouth Financial Group uses a professional four step marketing campaign to find qualified buyers, for each of our clients. The process is comprehensive and the best way to find the largest amount of potential buyers, while still keeping the offering confidential. If you are serious about selling your business, and want a professional group to represent you that uses a successful marketing program, with no upfront fees, and the ability to get deals done, then please give us a call.

FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a service business?
Prices vary depending on sales volume and financial performance, but the median asking price for a service business in the U.S. is approximately $312,338.
How much do service business owners earn?
These businesses vary in sales volume, but service business owners report median annual sales of $525,724 and annual owner earnings of $152,000. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.
How do I value a service business?
Valuing a service business involves considering several factors, including annual revenue, profit, owner earnings, growth (or decline) trends, and historical stability. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples of service businesses range from 0.43 to 1.08, with the median at 0.72. Earnings multiples range from 1.50 to 3.44, with the median at 2.43. These values indicate that a typical service business may sell for around 0.72 times its annual revenue, and 2.43 times its annual owner’s earnings.
