EBITDA multiples for Kenyan SMEs

Mature retailers and restaurants trade at 2-3× EBITDA. Professional services and pharmacies command 3-4×. Tech with recurring revenue can fetch 4-6× and higher.

A clean, audited P&L, a documented owner-independent operation and a long lease all push the multiple up.

Worked examples

  • Multiple 2.5× → value ≈ KES 2,000,000
