What are e-commerce businesses worth?

Short answer: E-commerce Businesses are typically valued on SDE at roughly roughly 2.5x–4x SDE (varies widely by platform and brand strength) — a general range, not an appraisal.

Diversified traffic, owned brand, and clean supplier relationships raise value; single-channel dependence lowers it.

E-commerce Businesses are usually valued on SDE, with multiples generally roughly 2.5x–4x SDE (varies widely by platform and brand strength). Treat this as a starting point, not an appraisal — your actual multiple depends on size, margins, owner-dependence, customer concentration, and recent trend.
