Questions about E-com deal

by a searcher from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Dec 12,2022

Hi Searchfund fam

Looking at an e-com product distribution company.   The cash flow as reported is decent and the product base seems stable but I haven't had any experience in the e-com space. Had a couple of questions 

Is it difficult to get a SBA loan for Ecom?
What are typical multiples on e-com product companies?

And a bit more on a general basis .. 

What rates/term are people getting on seller financing?

Thanks 
Krishnan

Hi Krishnan - I am a preferred SBA lender with First Business Bank. Our bank has financed dozens of ecommerce transactions and has created a set of guidelines that we like to follow on each transaction. Typically if the deal falls within those lending parameters it makes sense for all parties. Happy to chat further......good luck!
