Cash flow here is seller's discretionary earnings (SDE): the year's profit plus one owner's pay, interest, depreciation and one-off costs, before any loan payments.
Revenue and cash flow by fiscal year. Solid years were matched to filed tax returns by a NextOwner analyst on Sep 14, 2026. Outlined years are as the owner entered them.
Revenue fell 4.9% and cash flow fell 7.6% from fiscal year 2023 to fiscal year 2025.
The same years as the chart. Cash flow is net income plus the lines marked plus. A dash means the owner did not give that line.

Cash flow covers the loan payments
After the owner's salary, a year of cash flow is at least 1.25 times a year of loan payments on these terms. That is the cushion lenders commonly look for.

In the owner's words.
A dry cleaning and laundry business with a cleaning plant and two drop-off stores in the southeast suburbs of Rochester, plus a pickup and delivery route that serves about 300 households and a few hotels and restaurants. Services include dry cleaning, shirt laundry, alterations and household items.
The plant uses a wet cleaning system and a hydrocarbon machine installed in 2019, with no perchloroethylene on site. Six full-time staff run pressing, alterations and the counters.
Revenue has drifted down slightly each year since 2023 as offices moved to casual dress, while the delivery route has grown.
I am 64 and retiring after thirty years, and I have priced the business to sell this year.
The route could be extended to more neighbourhoods and offered to more hotels. Wash-and-fold laundry service is requested often.
Eight weeks of handover, including equipment maintenance and the route.
The circle marks the general area around Rochester, not the address.
