Cygnus Real Estate
Serving Leelanau County, MI
Cygnus partners was founded in Denver Colorado in 2009 by Greg Higgins, Carole Higgins & Kristina Minor. The partners are experienced real estate brokers. In 2012 a second branch of Cygnus was established in the Traverse City region of Northern MI by Carole & Greg Higgins. Upon establishing the main branch of Cygnus in MI the company gravitated towards more commercial and investment real estate. Through our practice we discovered a group of under represented and often times un-represented clients- small business owners who have painstakingly built small to mid size businesses which typically own the real property that they occupy. Unfortunately most real estate brokers will not take the time to evaluate a business or the assets of a small business before attempting to sell it. Over the years we have developed multiple methods of evaluating these businesses and become well acquainted with the financial products necessary to guide buyers and sellers through a successful transaction. In 2024 we added a 3rd branch of Cygnus in Grand Rapids MI

FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a retail business?
The median asking price for a retail business is approximately $300,000. However, this can vary significantly depending on the size, location, and financial performance of the store or shop.
How much do local retail business owners earn?
On average, store owners report median annual sales of $600,000 and annual owner earnings of $133,000. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.
How do I value a retail business?
Valuing a retail business involves considering several factors, including annual revenue, profit margins, location, real estate, and market conditions. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Retail revenue multiples typically range from 0.37 to 0.85, with the median at 0.56. Earnings multiples range from 1.79 to 3.50, with the median at 2.53. These values suggest a typical local retail business will sell for around 0.56 times its annual revenue, and 2.53 times its annual owner’s earnings.
