Main references: Francis Lefebvre (annual edition, taxation), CRA (practitioner methodology), and Bank of France (transmission statistics). Ratios vary by business (bakery ≠ tobacco-press ≠ pharmacy).

DVF gives commercial property price per m² in the zone, which serves as a wall value proxy (often separate from goodwill). Also helps bracket the "key money" if the lease is transferable.

Does this page replace a chartered accountant?

Benchmarks by business (Francis Lefebvre / CRA)

Goodwill typically values between 60% and 120% of annual HT revenue for retail, 50% to 100% for restaurants, or 4 to 8× EBITDA for profitable goodwill. Coefficients vary by zone (city center vs outskirts), location (1, 2, 3) and commercial lease (remaining duration, rent/revenue ratio).

How to bracket an estimate

Step 1: Get 3 years of accounts (revenue, EBITDA, profit). Step 2: Apply branch benchmark (CRA, Francis Lefebvre, Bank of France) low / median / high. Step 3: Adjust by zone (DVF premises, town momentum, vacancy). Step 4: Have a transmission-specialized chartered accountant validate.
