How did we build this Business Services analysis?
The 11.3x average EV/EBITDA is derived from mynth’s verified database of 279+ Business Services M&A transactions. The data is submitted by M&A and private equity professionals, then manually checked by mynth’s analysts to ensure consistency and reliability. Each deal is validated by cross‑checking the reported figures with press releases, public announcements, market coverage, and private documents whenever available. This verification process gives mynth access to granular, transaction‑level intelligence that is often missing from conventional databases, enabling a more accurate understanding of valuation trends in the Business Services sector. Thanks to this community‑driven approach, we deliver a unique and highly detailed view of each sector and sub‑sector, ranging from Facility Management and Industrial Services to Maintenance, BPO & Outsourcing and Contract Catering & FM Food, among others.
How does mynth enrich this analysis for users?
Once logged in, users can access detailed financial data for each transaction, including the Enterprise Value, Equity Value, Revenue, EBITDA, and EBIT for the current year and for prior fiscal years, as well as the corresponding Revenue, EBITDA, and EBIT multiples. On each deal page, the sources of the financial data are clearly indicated: links to press articles or official announcements, or a tag specifying when the data comes from confidential documents shared by the user. This transparency helps users assess the reliability and origin of the valuation figures. Every company in the database is tagged by sector with four levels of granularity, enabling users to distinguish between very different business models and valuation approaches that would otherwise be hidden at a broad sector level. This level of detail enables users to separate human‑capital‑intensive HR and consulting firms from asset‑heavy industrial services and logistics operators, which are valued very differently in M&A. The platform also tags each company by geography, enabling users to focus on specific countries or regions. mynth features a powerful search engine that lets you run highly refined queries by sector (with all four levels of industry depth), country, and company size, so you can quickly build custom peer groups, compare multiples, and export results directly to Excel.
