Cash Flow
The money a business generates that can service debt, pay an owner, or be reinvested after ordinary operating needs.

In Main Street listings, “cash flow” is often used loosely for SDE or seller’s discretionary cash, not a formal statement-of-cash-flows line. Buyers should confirm whether the figure is SDE, EBITDA, or free cash flow after capital expenditures and working-capital needs. Lenders care about cash flow that remains after a realistic owner wage and debt service. Bizgora listings commonly display cash flow next to asking price so buyers can judge the multiple before they open the map for location context.
