Valuation multiples vary by sector—but context matters. In Canada’s lower middle market, industry dynamics, deal structure, and buyer appetite can move these ranges quickly. If you’re considering a sale or acquisition, understanding where your business fits relative to these EBITDA benchmarks is the first step toward setting realistic expectations.

💡 Buyer Tip: Why Buyers Fail
(and How to Avoid It)

Buying a business almost always takes longer — and feels messier — than people expect. In our latest episode of The 7-Minute Takeover, we unpack the most common reasons buyers stall, burn out, or walk away before getting to close.

A few key reminders for buyers:
Get clearer, sooner. Being too broad in your search can slow you down and signal uncertainty. A thoughtful thesis helps brokers take you seriously and helps you move faster when the right deal appears.
Speed matters. Moving too slowly can create doubt with sellers and brokers. When a good opportunity shows up, decisiveness signals confidence and readiness.
Be financially deal-ready early. Knowing where your equity is coming from and how lenders think before LOI makes everything downstream smoother.
Relationships win deals. Marketplaces are a starting point, not the strategy. Strong broker relationships and clear communication make a real difference.
Expect the process to be imperfect. Businesses are messy. Sellers are emotional. Analysis has limits. Progress requires judgment, not perfection.
Don’t quit in the hard middle. Almost every buyer hits moments of doubt. The ones who succeed are usually the ones who keep going — with the right support around them.
If you’re in search (or thinking about starting), this episode is a good starting point and a helpful guide for what to watch out for as you move forward. https://link.murphybusinessalberta.ca/sp/481076d608c
