Sell a Business in Moab, Utah

Selling a business in Moab, Utah means pricing a Moab company on an ordinary week, not on a Saturday and not on a Salt Lake City multiple. The market this file already describes is Moab. Counties already named in this file include Washington County. Keep each invoice in the county that earned it. Do not collapse those names into one rent. Roads already in the file are SR-128, US-191, and I-70. Names already in the record, including Grand County, Spanish Valley, George, Main Street, Arches, SR-128, Castle Valley, and Jeep, stay where the invoices already put them. They are not new employers, and they are not a sale count or a price. A company that still bills in February is a different asset from a counter that only works when the Saturday fills the calendar. Cities already used as comparisons here, including Salt Lake City and St. George, can share labor or customers. They do not share this lease. This page is market context from Bridge Point Advisors, a national firm, not a Florida-only practice. It is not legal, tax, or lending advice. Confirm the lease, the license, and any loan with counsel in Utah before you sign.

The short answer: Moab sells when the ordinary week in Moab already holds without the Saturday. Owner-operated shops are often discussed at 2x to 3.5x seller's discretionary earnings after a real manager wage, and at 2.5x to 4.5x SDE when a lead already opens the route. Managed companies large enough for adjusted EBITDA are commonly discussed around 3x to 6x near a $10 million price. Those ranges are directional, not a quote. Call (352) 515-0226.

What the local economy actually sells

Moab is underwritten on Moab, inside the Moab conversation. A buyer who arrives with a statewide average still has to read this clerk and the week that is not a Saturday. The durable book is repeat work: household customers, contract routes, and a second person who can open. The trades already listed for this city are Hospitality, Restaurants, Retail, Auto repair, Construction, HVAC, Medical practices, and Landscaping. Each of those transfers when a full year is in the file and someone other than the founder can run an ordinary week. A one-time job that showed up only because the Saturday filled the calendar is not the run rate. Put that job in its own column. Price the weeks around it.

Local names already written into the Moab page belong in the teaser in plain words. The record includes Grand County, Spanish Valley, George, Main Street, Arches, SR-128, Castle Valley, and Jeep. Keep each name attached to the customers or the week it actually supports. If a name is really the Saturday, show February without it. If a name is a weekday desk, a campus, a plant, a hospital, a river, or a highway the file already describes, it can support the ordinary-week test. Do not add a payroll, a campus, or a plant this file does not already name. Do not invent a close volume. The number comes from the books, read against the valuation guide.

A Saturday versus the week that pays

A Saturday in Moab can fill a room, a lot, or a route. That week is real. It is not twelve months. Buyers will set it beside February and ask which one can make payroll. Show both before you write a teaser. The sale-prep roadmap is the national sequence: separate the ordinary Moab week, the Saturday, and any traffic that belongs to Salt Lake City rather than to this square. Neighborhood and edge work belongs in the copy when the invoices already name it. It does not become a second listing, and it does not become St. George rent. A route that already runs on a thin weekday is the asset. A single roadside job or a weekend that does not repeat is a note, not the price.

What a buyer should see before an offer is a plain packet. Two years of sales that include February, not only the Saturday. A manager wage that a stranger could actually hire. A customer list that still works if the largest name is removed. The lease, or a written path to assign it. The license, and the person who already qualifies. Inventory and receivables a normal month needs. A note on which dollars are Moab and which dollars, if any, are Salt Lake City. Owners who want a longer calendar can follow how to prepare a business for sale. Bring that packet. Do not bring a Saturday photograph and call it a year.

Who buys a company in Moab

Four kinds of buyers show up around Moab, and they do not underwrite the same file. A local owner-operator already knows Moab and can live with the ordinary week. That buyer will still ask who opens if the founder is gone. A search fund or an independent sponsor shows up when a manager already holds that week and the customer list is more than one name. A strategic buyer, often another operator in the same trade, wants the Moab customers and the people who already serve them. That buyer still has to take this square rather than a Salt Lake City badge. Private equity appears when the company is large enough and already managed. Most files in Moab are owner-operated and should be priced that way.

Confidentiality matters where people can guess the shop from a teaser. The guide to selling a company confidentially is the national process. People comparing markets can start from buyers and still have to read Moab before they read St. George. A thesis that needs a Salt Lake City caption, or a different state's city with the same name, will not survive the first week of questions.

Salt Lake City is already a comparison on this page. Wages and some customers can move toward Salt Lake City. The Moab lease, the Utah license, and the ordinary week do not move with them. If the same owner already invoices both places, show that in its own column. Do not merge the two rents. St. George is already a comparison on this page. Wages and some customers can move toward St. George. The Moab lease, the Utah license, and the ordinary week do not move with them. If the same owner already invoices both places, show that in its own column. Do not merge the two rents.

How the number is set

Owner-operated shops in Moab still price on seller's discretionary earnings. Add back owner pay only after a real manager wage is in the number. A founder who still walks every job is not a transferable wage. With a lead already opening, the conversation often moves toward 2.5x to 4.5x SDE. After a full manager wage, without that lead, the talk is often 2x to 3.5x SDE. A company that already runs without the founder can be discussed on adjusted EBITDA. Near a $10 million price, buyers often talk about 3x to 6x. Those ranges are directional, not a quote. A formal business valuation still has to read this file.

Do not stamp a Salt Lake City multiple on Moab because the drive is familiar. Do not treat a Saturday as twelve months. Do not treat one account as a diversified Moab book. The number follows the ordinary week and a person who is not the founder. Earn-outs show up when one Saturday, or one customer, is a large share of the year. Seller financing shows up when the lease, a license, or a thin equity check is the long pole. Neither tool repairs a comparable taken from St. George.

How the check is written

A documented Moab company with a manager wage already in the model can fit a bank conversation, including SBA 7(a) financing. The SBA 7(a) program currently caps that guaranteed loan at $5 million. That is a ceiling, not an approval. A business that only works during a Saturday, or a one-account shop, usually needs more equity, a seller note, or both. Read the SBA financing guide as national context. This is not lending advice. Licenses in Utah sit on their own calendar. A license from Salt Lake City is not a Moab qualifying credential.

Working capital is the cash, inventory, and receivables left so a normal month can make payroll and pay vendors. In Moab the normal month is February, not the Saturday. A contract business may collect more slowly than a cash counter. Set the cash target on the ordinary week. Disclose a seasonal bulge, and do not set the target from that bulge. A seller note should be payable from the ordinary week. An earn-out on one account should still show Moab sales with that account removed.

Diligence that fails in Moab

Due diligence in Moab fails on the wrong map more often than it fails on a missing statement. A buyer who priced the square as a quieter Salt Lake City will ask the wrong first question. A buyer who priced it as St. George makes the same mistake with a different set of customers. Name Moab on the first page so those comparisons cannot hide in a statewide average. Lease assignment belongs in the first week if the book depends on a local landlord. If the founder is still the only name the landlord, the customers, or the license will accept, a short handshake does not replace a manager who already worked an ordinary week.

The failures are easy to name. Treating the Saturday as the run rate. Treating one customer as a whole company. Leaving the founder as the only person Moab will follow. Pricing the file from a Salt Lake City teaser. Writing St. George as this listing because the drive is short. Confusing this Moab with a same-name city in another state. None of those survive a walk through Moab on a week that is not the Saturday.

Use the comparisons this page already earned, and stop there. Linked markets include Salt Lake City and St. George. Roads already in the file are SR-128, US-191, and I-70. The corridor name in the file is Moab. A buyer who needs a different map is reading the wrong city. Say which of Grand County, Spanish Valley, George, Main Street, Arches, SR-128, Castle Valley, and Jeep is a weekday fact and which is the Saturday. That split is the diligence. It is also the price.

Walk Moab before the wrong comparison sticks

Walk the hospitality first if that is the asset, on a week that is not the Saturday. A crowded Saturday can make the business look larger than the payroll it can support. The lease still needs a path to assignment, and the person who covers February has to already be on the schedule. Then mark which tickets are Moab and which belong to Salt Lake City or to another town this file already names. Those towns stay in the note only when a bill already says so. If the only busy story is a single account or a single Saturday, the company is smaller than the teaser. Show that month next to the ordinary month. People leave Moab for other wages. Put the pay required to keep a second lead in the asking price before the first tour. A buyer based in Salt Lake City can still be the right operator. That buyer cannot carry over another city's license, or another city's lease, and call it this sale.
