Business Details

Cash Flow (SDE)Not DisclosedCash flow describes money generated by the business after operating expenses. In business-for-sale listings, a figure labeled “Cash Flow” may be a broker-adjusted earnings measure rather than GAAP cash flow, so buyers should review how it was calculated. On this card, “Cash Flow (SDE)” uses SDE as the listing's cash-flow measure. SDE means Seller's Discretionary Earnings: a common small-business sale metric estimating the financial benefit available to one owner-operator, generally adjusting earnings for one owner's compensation and certain discretionary or nonrecurring expenses.
