Seller Discretionary Earnings: The Key to Business Value

Описание: Understanding Seller Discretionary Earnings (SDE) is crucial when buying a business. In this video, we break down what SDE really means, how it differs from EBITDA, and why it matters for your business acquisition.

As family business succession experts, I'll show you:
• How to properly calculate SDE
• Common adjustments that impact business valuation
• Why tax returns matter more than financial statements
• How to evaluate multiple years of business performance
• How SDE impacts your ability to borrow

Whether you're planning to buy your first business or looking to expand, mastering SDE calculations will help you avoid overpaying and ensure you understand the true cash flow available to you as the new owner.
