What the asking price buys

Cheaper general retail businesses come with more revenue for the money: $5.20 of yearly revenue for every $1 asked under $100K, $1.73 over $1M.

Stated earnings repay the price in about a year at $100K–$250K and 3.6 years over $1M. Earnings are as the broker states them, usually before an owner’s wage.
