How concentrated are the customers?
What happens when the owner leaves for a month?
How clean are the books?
Do the licenses, leases and contracts transfer?
Nothing answered yet, so there is no reading. This does not default to the middle: a midpoint shown for a blank form would say your business is average when you have not told it anything.
The drivers that move the number in this trade specifically are in the full Paving & Asphalt guide. The picker holds the trades this site prices on one earnings figure. The other 13 are priced another way or on too thin a class, and each still appears with its cited band and source in Every Band, Cited.
What Moves the Multiple
Size moves the construction class: the cited page reads a business with $3 million of revenue above 3x earnings and one under $1 million nearer 1.8x. Advisers quote higher EBITDA tiers for recurring-maintenance books, with no transaction evidence behind them; recurring sealcoating share, materials pass-through, fleet, bonding, and season set the position.
