Financial Data
Exit Analysis
Auburndale Group changed hands at a 2.0× profit multiple, below the 2.5× median of the 105 deals in this database that disclosed both price and profit. Multiples below the median usually point to risk the buyer priced in: churn, dependence on a single channel or a business that still needed its founder.
This database tracks 57 Agency exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $155,000. Category matters more than founders expect: buyers apply different discount rates to a content business, a mobile app and a B2B tool even at identical revenue.
From founding to sale took 2.0 years. Time to exit is a decent proxy for how built-to-sell a business was: shorter, cleaner processes usually mean documented operations and fewer surprises in due diligence.
