Tools

  • list_industries: the 106 industries covered, and which ones have enough disclosed deals to publish multiples.
  • get_valuation_multiples(industry, size_bracket?): median and middle-50% EV/EBITDA and EV/Revenue, with the number of deals behind each figure. Accepts plain names like "HVAC" or "dental practice". Figures with too few deals are withheld rather than guessed.
  • compare_industries(industries, size_bracket?, metric?): side-by-side medians for 2 to 6 industries.
  • get_multiples_trend(industry, metric?): medians by year, listing only years with enough disclosed deals.

Example questions: "What EBITDA multiple do veterinary practices sell for?" "Compare revenue multiples for insurance agencies under $25M."

Figures come from a licensed historical M&A database, SEC EDGAR filings and verified press releases, the same data behind the industry benchmark pages. See the methodology.
