How to value a DropShipping business

Start with net profit for the last twelve months, after every real cost including your own replacement if you run the business day to day. Multiply it by a multiple for the business model. Then move toward the low or high end of the range based on the factors below.

For example, a DropShipping business netting $10,000 a month makes $120,000 a year. At today's median of 2.2x, that points to an asking price around $264,000. At the edges of the middle half, the same business would list between $192,000 and $324,000.

These are asking prices on live listings, not closing prices. Final prices are negotiated and depend on deal terms such as earnouts, inventory, and transition support.

What moves the multiple

Age and stability of profit

Two or three years of steady profit earns a higher multiple than one strong year. Buyers pay for predictability.

Trend

Rising profit over the last twelve months supports the top of the range. A declining trend pulls the multiple down quickly.

Owner workload

A business that runs on a few hours a week and documented processes is worth more than one that depends on the founder every day.

Concentration

One product, one traffic source, one platform, or one big customer is a risk buyers discount for.

Transferability

Trademarks, supplier agreements, ad accounts, and contractors that move with the sale make the profit easier to keep.

Growth room

Clear, untried growth levers, like a new channel or product line, give a buyer a reason to pay toward the high end.
