Overview
Video production businesses typically trade at 2.5×–5× EBITDA. Established brand relationships, retainer work for ongoing content production, and broadcast or streaming platform access support the upper end. Premium equipment ownership and an award-winning showreel strengthen the proposition. AI-generated content disruption, founder-dependent creative direction, and project-based revenue models are the primary risk factors.
