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.

Prefer this running automatically, on every sale, with no manual entry?

Frequently asked questions

What is EBITDA?
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation. A proxy for operating cash flow.
Is this a real valuation?
No. Use this for a sanity check; commission a proper valuation for a transaction.
What lifts the multiple?
Growth, recurring revenue, low customer concentration, audited books, transferable owner.
Does Veira help with valuation?
Yes. Veira keeps a clean, audited-style record of revenue, costs and EBITDA, what every buyer wants to see.
What if EBITDA is negative?
Use revenue multiples or asset-based methods; profitability is a precondition for EBITDA multiples.
