Hello All,
I am doing my search and going through various firms books. And there is one thing I am wondering about.
As I set parameters for my search, is there a benchmark/KPI for EBITDA Margin? I am filtering out firms that do not have a margin of at least 20%. In your experience, is that too high of a number? Too low?
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
