What kinds of ecommerce businesses does Ecomma review?

Ecomma reviews ecommerce businesses where the fundamentals can be understood clearly: financials, channel mix, operations, supplier relationships, transferability, and the work required after acquisition.

How is valuation approached?

The starting point is usually trailing profit, category context, business quality, transfer risk, and the operating work required after acquisition. Worth is a directional model, not a binding offer.

What happens after I submit the seller intake?

The intake should help Ecomma understand fit before asking for deeper diligence. If the business looks relevant, the next step is a focused conversation about the business, the numbers, and the founder's goals.

Does Ecomma buy directly from founders?

Yes. The Sell journey is designed for direct founder conversations. If a founder is already represented by an advisor or broker, Ecomma can still review the opportunity through that channel.

Why does Ecomma care about operations before a sale?

Ecomma is not trying to list a business and walk away. The firm needs to understand how the business runs, what can be improved, and what has to transfer cleanly for a future owner.

What makes a seller conversation stronger?

Clear revenue and profit history, clean traffic and channel data, supplier visibility, inventory context, customer data, and a realistic view of what the founder wants after handoff all make the conversation sharper.

How long does selling a business usually take?

It depends on the business, how clean the financials and operations are, and what diligence uncovers. Ecomma tries to move efficiently once fit is clear, but the site should not promise a fixed timeline. The first conversation gives a realistic read on what the process would look like.

Is my information kept private during a sale?

Seller conversations are handled directly rather than through a public listing, and sensitive details are discussed privately. The specific terms around confidentiality are agreed before deeper diligence begins.
