On earnings (SDE or EBITDA) times a multiple, which usually works out to roughly 0.3–0.6× annual revenue for independent and specialty retail stores. A $1.1M business would typically be worth around $330K–$660K, depending on profit and how transferable it is.
What makes a retail business sell for more?
Buyers pay a premium for a strong location and local brand, healthy inventory turns and margins, repeat customers and a mailing list. The less the business depends on you personally, the higher the multiple.
