Overview
Lead Generation Business businesses may trade across a broad 4×–8× EBITDA range, with a typical multiple around 6×. Valuations are driven by recurring clients, proprietary traffic, diversified channels and conversion data. Businesses with stronger recurring revenue, diversified customers, transferable teams and lower owner dependence generally attract the upper end of the range. Key risks include algorithm changes, concentration, paid-media inflation and privacy regulation.
