What is your
retail store worth?
Instant, private AI valuation for independent GTA retail — clothing, gift, beauty, pet, home and specialty stores. Owner earnings, lease, online sales and inventory all factored in.
How this estimate works
Independent retail sells on owner earnings. Leave it blank and the tool estimates it from sales and category.
Completed independent retail sales have closed at a median of about 2.3× owner earnings (clothing about 2.0×). Category, online sales, who runs it, lease and trend move it from there.
Saleable stock is counted and added at landed cost on closing day; aged stock is discounted.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a retail store worth?
Most independent stores sell for roughly 1.6 to 3.1 times owner earnings — about 0.3 to 0.7 times annual sales — plus inventory at cost. BizBuySell’s completed-sale median for general retail is about 2.26 times owner earnings.
Is inventory included in the price?
Usually not. The business is priced without it, and saleable inventory is counted and paid for at cost on closing day.
Do online sales help?
Yes — an established online channel is transferable revenue that is less dependent on the location and the lease.
What about HST on the sale?
In an asset sale, buyer and seller can often file a joint election (CRA form GST44) so HST does not apply when substantially all business assets are sold. Confirm with your accountant.
