In depth report from BizBuySell on how businesses for sale transaction and valuation metrics for third quarter and 2015 year-to-date stack up against 2014. Breakdowns include geography (Charlotte, Durham, Greensboro-High Point, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem are each tallied) and industry sector. One caveat, be careful when looking at an average over a small sample size. These valuations use Seller Discretionary Earnings as the basis for cash flow, and there are a number of qualitative and quantitative factors that go into a valuation.
