Deal multiples

I am being asked to justify deal multiple for a food processing company... IBIS doesn't have much useful (or any) valuation data on this industry. Does anyone have other advice where to find private company multiples? Thank you.

Hey ^redactedhttps://www.searchfunder.com/bvr? There are multiples for food manufacturing. If you need the data more granular (by 6 digit NAICS or any other criteria), you can visit www.bvresources.com/dealstats‌

What we have seen in the past 5 years in Europe, I think it’s not so different in the US, is extremely different multiples for food processing companies. From 5x to 12x or more, if you are in the traditional meat delicatessen or in the plant-based organic food it makes a huge difference. I suggest you focus on the specificities of the company and how this may translate into value differences from the industry average figures you will find out there.
