House Cleaning SDE Multiples

SDE multiple range: 2x (distressed/below-average) → 2.8x (average) → 3.8x (premium/PE-quality). Most house cleaning transactions close in the 2.8x range. Businesses with 40%+ recurring revenue and an absentee owner profile can achieve 3.8x+.

House Cleaning EBITDA Multiples

EBITDA multiple range: 3x (smaller/standalone) → 4x (market) → 6x (PE platform deal). EBITDA multiples apply primarily to house cleaning businesses above $500K–$1M in EBITDA. Below this level, buyers use SDE.

Why Multiples Vary This Much

A 3.8x SDE deal is not the same business as a 2x deal. The premium businesses have: recurring revenue that creates predictable cash flow, management infrastructure that survives ownership transition, multiple years of demonstrated growth, diversified customer base, and often, a strategic buyer who needs them specifically.
