What is SDE?
Seller's Discretionary Earnings is the most common valuation method for small, owner-operated businesses in Canada. It adds back the owner's salary, personal expenses, and one-time costs to normalize earnings — giving buyers a true picture of the cash flow available to a new owner.
What is EBITDA?
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization is the standard for larger, professionally managed businesses. It strips out financing and accounting decisions to reveal the true operational profitability — the number institutional buyers and lenders use to compare deals.
