Valuation
Questions related to Shopify business valuation & multiples.
How much is my Shopify business worth?
Most Shopify businesses are valued using a multiple of Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or EBITDA depending on the size of the business. Buyers also review traffic diversification, customer acquisition costs, repeat customer rates, supplier stability, profit margins, and operational efficiency.
What factors increase the value of an Shopify business?
Higher valuation multiples are typically associated with clean financials, stable or growing sales, strong margins, diversified product offerings, recurring customers, diversified traffic sources, reliable suppliers, and efficient 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.

Why Shopify business owners choose our team to manage the sale process.
What do buyers review during Shopify due diligence?
Buyers typically review Shopify analytics, product-level sales, traffic sources, advertising performance, bank and merchant records, supplier invoices, inventory reports, customer retention metrics, trademarks, customer reviews, and tax returns.
How long does due diligence take?
Most due diligence periods last approximately 3 to 4 weeks depending on the size of the transaction, the quality of financial records, and the complexity of the Shopify business.
Is escrow used for Shopify transactions?
