I think it really needs to tie into the net you've seen (if any). 1 to 1.5 annual revenue seems to hold up pretty well. More if you have a great customer base (lots of high dollar businesses) vs. the average (mix of business but mostly resi).
It's a business like most any other as far as profit margins and sales go. At least that's what we're seeing so far. The big exception to that is when a guy is going broke or just wants to get out, no matter what. Then these go for pennies on the dollar. Again, just like any other business that I know of :-). marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Friday, July 17, 2009 12:27 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Question re: WISP for sale > One way I have heard it done: > > Take the annual gross revenue, times it by 3 (three years gross revenue) > and > that's the buy out cost starting point.
