eCommerce M&A
Valuation
Questions related to eCommerce valuation & multiples.
How much is my eCommerce business worth?
Most eCommerce businesses are valued using a multiple of Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or EBITDA depending on the size and complexity of the business. Buyers also review traffic diversification, customer acquisition performance, supplier stability, inventory management, repeat customer rates, operational systems, and overall profitability.
What factors increase the value of an eCommerce business?
Higher valuation multiples are typically associated with clean financials, stable or growing sales, strong margins, diversified traffic sources, repeat customer revenue, reliable suppliers, operational efficiency, and scalable marketing performance.
Does inventory impact valuation?
Yes. Inventory is usually handled separately from the business valuation and adjusted at closing. Excessive or slow-moving inventory can create buyer concerns, especially when financing is involved or storage and fulfillment requirements are significant.
