Benchmark against peers
What businesses in your industry sell for, and what we do not yet know about them.
- Business Services
- What buyers paid as a multiple of profit, before any adjustment for your own size, growth or customer concentration.
- Our own estimate for business services. Medium sized European businesses across all industries sold for about 8.6 times their profit in Q1 2026, measured by the Argos Mid-Market Index, which tracks completed sales of companies this size. We take that figure and adjust it for business services. The index publishes the all industry number only, so the business services figure is ours, not the publisher's.
- We do not yet hold peer operating data
- This page used to draw percentile charts for revenue growth, gross margin, EBITDA margin, net margin, revenue per employee and customer retention. We hold none of those figures for European SMEs in your sector, so those charts were generated rather than measured. They have been removed.
- What is above is the one thing we can actually evidence: what businesses in this sector sell for, and exactly where that figure comes from. When we hold a real peer dataset, the distributions will return with a source attached.
- For context, medium sized European businesses across all industries sold for about 8.6× their profit in Q1 2026, measured by the Argos Mid-Market Index. That is an all-industry figure, not a figure for your sector.
- A sector range is not your number
- Your own size, growth and customer concentration move it a long way.

- Ready to know your number?
- The instant benchmark gives you an indicative value range in under 60 seconds, measured against completed sales of medium sized European businesses. The full valuation takes about 5 minutes, uses your own financials and shows up to four methods. Both are free. Both are indicative estimates, not a formal appraisal.
- The one success fee we intend to charge applies only when a deal closes. Provisional. No engagement letter has been drafted yet, so this is how we intend to charge rather than terms you can hold us to.
