Valuation

Sell Amazon FBA: What Is Your Business Worth?

SDE-Based Valuation for Amazon FBA Sales

When selling your FBA brand, you'll quickly discover: valuation is typically based on Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE). SDE equals profit before owner salary, one-time costs, and non-operational expenses – a metric specifically developed for owner-operated businesses.

The multiple for your Amazon FBA sale depends on various factors. A well-diversified portfolio with multiple successful products is valued higher than a single-product business. Growth rates, brand building, and supplier relationship quality also play crucial roles:

Revenue Size: Higher revenue = higher multiple
Growth Rate: Strong YoY growth increases value
Product Diversification: Multiple SKUs reduce risk
Brand Building: Trademark, Brand Store, social media presence
Supplier Relationships: Exclusive agreements are valuable
Typical Multiple
2-4x
SDE (Seller's Discretionary Earnings)
Premium brands with strong growth, high diversification, and established branding can achieve higher multiples.
