To assign a valuation multiple for F45 franchises, we leverage estimates from DealStats, a database of acquired private company transactions sourced from U.S. business brokers and SEC filings. We reviewed the larger franchise industry as well as selling price multiples for larger systems like Anytime Fitness where more transaction data is available.
Under $1 Million Net Sales
- Estimated Selling Price = Net Sales – 0.54
$1 Million – $5 Million Net Sales
- Estimated Selling Price = Net Sales – 0.67
Over $5 Million Net Sales
- Estimated Selling Price = Net Sales – 1.21
When you go to sell an F45 franchise based on the median multiple of .54 and net sales averaging $359,000 it would sell for $193,860. This is significantly lower than the average investment of $315,000.
If you owned multiple F45 franchises, you do have the ability to make an even larger profit. Gym owners with over $5 million in sales have a median multiple of 1.21. So, if you had 15 F45 franchises this would be $5,385,000 million in sales. And the sale amount would be $6,515,850.
