Notes & Assumptions
SDE = Net Profit + Owner Comp + Add-backs + Interest + Depreciation/Amortization. EBITDA = Net Profit + Interest + Depreciation/Amortization. Valuations are illustrative; real offers depend on risk, trends, contracts, lease terms, and lender diligence. DSCR target often ≥ 1.25×.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a small business typically valued?

Most Main Street & lower-middle-market businesses are priced off SDE (Seller’s Discretionary Earnings) multiples; larger firms may use EBITDA multiples. Asset-heavy or fast-growth businesses sometimes use revenue or asset-based methods.

What’s in SDE?

Net profit plus owner salary/comp, payroll taxes on that comp, interest, depreciation, amortization, and legitimate one-time or non-operating add-backs.

What multiples are common?

It depends on size, industry, trends, and risk. Many owner-operator businesses trade around 2.0–3.5× SDE. Stronger businesses (growth, systems, recurring revenue) can justify 3.5–5.0× or more.

Do inventory and FF&E count?

Often yes. Deals are commonly priced as enterprise value based on earnings plus normalized working assets (e.g., inventory at cost, FF&E at fair value), depending on structure.

How does financing affect price?

Price and terms are intertwined. An SBA-backed structure (buyer equity + bank loan + possible seller note) can support higher prices if the cash flow covers debt with healthy DSCR (≥1.25x is a common target).

What is DSCR?

Debt Service Coverage Ratio = cash flow available to service debt / annual debt payments. Lenders want a comfortable cushion.
