A Forensic Approach to Valuation
01
Quality of Earnings (QoE)
We cross-reference raw bank statements, merchant processor data (Stripe, PayPal, Amazon), and Shopify backend reports with the provided P&L to eliminate fake add-backs and verify true SDE/EBITDA.
02
Traffic & Customer Concentration
Is the business overly reliant on a single ad agency or traffic source? We audit GA4, Meta Ads, and Google Ads to identify algorithmic risks, fake traffic, and true Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) vs. Lifetime Value (LTV).
03
Supply Chain & Operations
We verify supplier relationships, MOQs, exclusivity agreements, and shipping reliability. Does the business own its supply chain, or is it at the mercy of a single Alibaba vendor?
04
Legal, IP & Compliance
We check for trademark infringements, copyrighted assets, and Amazon/Shopify policy violations that could trigger a sudden account suspension post-close, rendering the asset worthless.
