Who wins?

Texas has 291% more businesses on the market than Ohio (3,900 vs 998). Texas is cheaper at the median asking price. Both markets price at about the same 2.1× cash-flow multiple, so you pay a similar earnings premium either way — the difference is selection and entry price, not valuation.
