    eCommerce Valuation FAQs

    How do you value an Amazon FBA business?

    FBA businesses are valued based on seller central metrics including revenue history, account health, product rankings, review profiles, and inventory. We also assess Amazon dependency risks and diversification potential.

    What about businesses with subscription revenue?

    Subscription eCommerce typically commands premium multiples. We analyse monthly recurring revenue, churn rates, subscriber growth, and cohort retention to properly value the recurring revenue stream.

    How do you handle inventory in eCommerce valuations?

    Inventory is typically included in the valuation and assessed at cost or net realisable value. We analyse inventory turnover, seasonality, and supplier relationships to determine working capital requirements.

    Do you value dropshipping businesses?

    Yes, though dropshipping businesses typically command lower multiples due to lower barriers to entry and supplier dependencies. We assess supplier relationships, competitive moats, and brand value in our analysis.
