Valuation multiples are DealSeam's industry benchmarks, reviewed July 2026. Establishment counts are from the U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023 (NAICS 621610). Platform ownership comes from each platform's own or press sources, verified October 6, 2026. Companies listed as already owned come from DealSeam's own research: the owner's website, the company's own website, a domain redirect, or a source found in our September 2026 ownership screen, each re-checked before publishing. Named acquisitions are the deals we have recorded from public announcements, each linked to its source; they are not every deal in the state. Ownership in this sector changes often.
