Size Matters In Valuing A Business
I hear lots of interesting observations and questions about the value of businesses. Recently a business owner said to me, “Peet’s Coffee, (Nasdaq: PEET) trades for 20 times earnings, so should I be able to sell my Mike’s Coffee Emporium for that?” It’s a great question. Besides brand recognition and the liquidity of public vs. private company shares, size is the obvious difference between Peet’s and Mike’s. So how much does the size of a company and its earnings affect valuation multiples? Quite a lot as it turns out. Al Statz, business broker in the North Bay covers this issue.
