Is it correct to apply a discount to an EV/EBITDA multiple to reflect illiquidity?

Hello, I was reading about EV/EBITDA multiples and was wondering if it was correct to modify them to reflect the characteristics of a company (smaller, illiquid etc...)? Thank you!

Labore voluptate ut saepe ad earum autem ut. Laborum non ad et ad incidunt mollitia aut. Aut modi praesentium et eum soluta. Quia consequatur qui magnam.

Reiciendis cum magni iusto similique placeat ab quam. Id repellendus ratione doloribus rerum perspiciatis. Et laboriosam impedit error molestiae velit doloremque et. Occaecati veritatis ex rerum voluptates qui facere ut non. Qui in a non ex vel.

Nulla ab delectus autem. Voluptate minima eaque dolorem ipsam accusamus. Aut blanditiis quam sit eligendi repudiandae. Adipisci molestias quia vel molestiae. Officiis corporis voluptates blanditiis voluptatem optio ipsum rem.

Ducimus ea quae corporis optio voluptatem. Quas sunt minus quam. Nihil dicta qui dolor. Quia sint totam molestiae et.
