Consumer behavior online has seen major growth in the past decade. It is estimated that there will be 2.05 billion global digital buyers in 2021. Online transactions are quickly moving to be the preferred medium for shopping as consumers find ways to simplify their lives and find the best deals. If you own an eCommerce business that is in line with market growth trends, then now is a great time to sell your eCommerce business because demand is at a premium. Acquisitions Direct has a database of over 15,000 active eCommerce business buyers and we are ready to help you succeed in the sales process, valuation, listing, and sale of your eCommerce business.
We are the oldest eCommerce business brokerage firm on the web today. Since 2002 we have sold online businesses in diverse industries ranging in price from $250K to $30M. Contact us today to obtain a free valuation and to get the process started on selling your eCommerce business. We know from experience (our advisors have owned and sold their own online businesses) that selling your eCommerce business can be confusing, emotional, and time consuming – that’s why we’ve crafted a process that takes the stress and strain away from you, the seller.
How Much is Your eCommerce Business Worth?
Our Sales Process
One of our advisors will conduct an interview with you to evaluate your eCommerce business and to gain a full understanding of your operation. This includes business’ products, services, pricing, distribution, affiliations, financials, competition and procedures. This helps us determine the proper market value of your business so that you can make an informed decision on the listing price.
With your support, a professional listing advertisement and sales presentation are developed and used to market your business to potential eCommerce business buyers with a targeted marketing program. The purpose of this is to highlight your business and give buyers the details they need to decide if they would like to pursue further. This marketing program is done at no cost to you and is the first step in the sales process after listing your business.
It’s best to start this process BEFORE a buyer is found. During due diligence, the buyer will want to take a complete look under the hood of your operations and perform a deep analysis of your financials before sealing the deal on their potential investment. Have these areas completely documented and organized to help ensure a smooth due diligence process and prevent any missteps in front of the prospective buyer.
This is where you and the potential buyer work together so the Buyer can take a good ‘look under the hood’ of your eCommerce business. It is a common misconception that a seller starts the due diligence process only after a Letter of Intent (LOI) is accepted. It’s best to prepare for this stage in the sales process as soon as you know you want to sell your business so that you are prepared. We know what buyers are looking for and will help you organize your documents to make the process easier.
After due diligence is complete, the buyer’s attorney will draft up an asset purchase agreement. Acquisition’s Direct will send you the Asset Purchase Agreement and other needed closing documents from the buyer for your review and approval.
Once the sale is ready to be finalized, Acquisitions Direct will coordinate all parties involved in the closing. Typically, transitional support is offered by the seller to provide a smooth transfer to the new owner during the first few weeks. The length of time is based on the needs of the buyer and set up of the business.

What Our Client’s Say
Before working with Acquisitions Direct, we had never sold a company. After completing the free evaluation, we hired Acquisitions Direct to sell our business. Bob from Acquisitions Direct quickly presented several qualified buyers and helped us choose the best fit. He helped both my company and the buyer work through some struggles to get to closing. We strongly recommend Bob from Acquisitions Direct to anyone looking to sell their online business.
Working with Acquisitions Direct was a great experience. Bob kept the sale moving forward quickly and provided daily updates on progress. Buying a business is a difficult step and Bob was there to guide us through from start to finish. It truly was a pleasure working with the brokerage team at Acquisitions Direct.
Acquisitions Direct did an excellent job of guiding me through the sale of my business, keeping me accountable and following up on action items. The sale of my business went as smooth as any transaction I have been involved in the past. I highly recommend Acquisitions Direct Broker services!
