Business Description

Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) includes a normalizing adjustment to reflect market-based occupancy cost for transition to a commercially leased warehouse/flex facility.
The business requires a centralized location for service vehicle storage, basic inventory, and light operational support. That Normalizing adjustment assumes the buyer will lease a commercial flex space or warehouse ~ 1,500 square feet ins size, at prevailing market rate of ~ $1,000.00 per month. This assumption is a reduction to Seller Discretionary Earning Calculations - Opportunities for Growth
