How concentrated are the customers?
What happens when the owner leaves for a month?

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 School Bus & Shuttle Contracting guide. The picker holds every trade whose cited band is a multiple of one earnings figure; the 11 priced on cap rates, collections, revenue or two bases at once are named with their reasons rather than left out silently. Every cited band, with its drivers and source, is listed below on this page.
What Moves the Multiple
The district contract is the asset: years remaining, renewal terms, and whether it may be assigned decide most of the price. Drivers are the capacity, and a contractor running at zero spare cannot bid the next route, so tenure and vacancy history price a book as much as the fleet does.
