Annual Return on Investment
Based upon a purchase price of $749,000, with an average portion of the purchase price being financed with normal commercial finance terms, we anticipate an annual Return on Investment of more than 31% ** (Details of these calculations provided upon request).

* Seller's Discretionary Earnings (“SDE”) is a calculation of the total financial benefit that a single full time owner-operator would derive from a business on an annual basis. SDE is the pretax and pre-interest profits, before non-cash expenses, owner's benefits, one time investments, and any non-related income or expenses. SDE may require that expenses be adjusted if a new owner (Purchaser) will necessarily need to take on a new expense. SDE is also referred to as Adjusted Cash Flow, Total Owner's Benefit, Seller's Discretionary Cash Flow, or Recast Earnings.

** Please refer to our Minimum Equity requirements. Our expectations are for a buyer to be "capable" of making a minimum 35% down payment on the final negotiated purchase price, to be considered truly qualified. Feel free to run some of your own calculations here:
