What is the classic valuation technique in search funds? I am thinking EBITDA multiples. I have heard multiples as low as 2-3x EBITDA. Is this accurate???

Are you the only bidder, multiple bidders?
Is the business on an upswing or steady or declining?
Industry...
EBITDA levels...
Ability for the business to support leverage....
What a buyer can do to the business with high level of confidence - consolidate overhead, add customers, apply technology etc - This is the buyers alpha, but they might be willing to pay more than another buyer who does not have these items in their back pocket...
I could keep going...
