How Practice Valuations Work

SDE Method: Add back the owner's salary and benefits to net profit to get true cash flow to the owner. Multiply by an industry multiple (typically 1.5-3× for most practices). This is the most common method for practices under $2M.

EBITDA Method: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization. Used for larger practices ($2M+). Multiples range from 4-8× depending on specialty and profitability.
