What a Market Price Analysis tells you

A Market Price Analysis (MPA) is both an art and a science. The science is in the data: comparable transactions, current buyer behavior, and the financial mechanics that drive deal value. The art is in the judgment that twenty years of M&A experience brings to interpreting those numbers in the context of your specific business and market.

An MPA considers the factors that drive price in any transaction: earnings quality and add-backs, working capital, customer concentration, recurring revenue, owner dependence, industry trends, and the strength of your people, processes, and systems. The depth of analysis on each factor depends on the financial information available, and further review can refine the picture.

The output is a market price you can work with. Not a wish. Not a number anchored on what you have invested. Not a multiple borrowed from a different industry. A defensible market price grounded in how buyers and lenders evaluate businesses like yours.
