It is important that the sales evidence calculates the profit of the business being valued in the same profit method as that of the comparable value of small businesses in the sales data set. If they are based on one single owner-operator profit in the business (PEBITDA) then the subject business should also base its profit on an owner-driven profit, not a couple and not a business run under management.
