Does the industry change how a business is valued?
Yes. The method and the multiple both change. Asset-heavy sectors such as manufacturing and contracting are reconciled against a plant and machinery valuation, healthcare and clinics attract higher EBITDA multiples, and SaaS and technology businesses are usually priced on recurring-revenue quality rather than EBITDA at all.
What EBITDA multiples apply in the UAE?
As a general market reference, construction and contracting, trading and distribution, and restaurants and F&B typically sit around 3x to 5x normalised EBITDA; logistics and shipping and manufacturing around 4x to 6x; healthcare and clinics around 6x to 10x. These are reference points only, and every business is valued on its own facts.
Do you value plant, machinery and equipment?
Yes. For manufacturing and industrial businesses Assetica values plant and machinery on both market and depreciated replacement cost bases, and reconciles that against the earnings-based valuation of the business as a whole.
