Exit Readiness and Due Diligence for Ecommerce Brands
Buyers pay for numbers they can trust. We get your financials ready for a sale, show you what drives your valuation, and support you through due diligence so nothing slows the deal down.
The work that protects your exit price starts long before you list
When a buyer or broker looks at an ecommerce brand, they look at earnings, margins, inventory and the quality of the books behind them. Messy records, cash-basis accounting or unexplained adjustments lead to lower offers, longer due diligence and deals that fall apart.
The best time to prepare is 12 to 24 months before you plan to sell. That gives you time to clean up the books, strengthen your margins and show a track record buyers can rely on.

When should I start preparing to sell my ecommerce business?
Ideally 12 to 24 months before you plan to sell. That gives you time to clean up your books and build a strong earnings history.
What do buyers look for in an ecommerce brand’s financials?
Consistent, accrual-based books, accurate inventory and COGS, clear earnings and margins, and a track record they can verify.
How is an ecommerce business valued?
Most are valued as a multiple of earnings. The multiple depends on factors such as growth, margins, brand strength and how dependent the business is on one channel.
Do I need a CPA during due diligence?
A CPA who already knows your books can answer buyer questions quickly and accurately, which helps keep the deal on track.
