Tune In To The Market Leading Discussion On eCommerce Brand Valuations

Q3 2024 Webinar: Oct 10th, 2024.

The most common question we get asked by sellers and acquirors is where are valuations? Therefore last year we decided to productize our house view into a 50 page quarterly report. In addition, we host a webinar to bring the report to life. Speakers include our CEO and 2-4 guest speakers. Our goal is to make the report and webinar the industry standard for tracking valuations of eCommerce brands.

We pride ourselves on having strong relationships with eCommerce acquirors around the globe. Our network is built on a foundation of trust and success, bringing together industry leaders and innovators who drive the Technology & eCommerce sectors forward. We hope you can join our next annual event in New York next January.

“In my inexperienced position, I signed a contract with a bad broker that did not respect my wishes. When I met with The Fortia Group, I was immediately impressed by their professionalism and integrity and decided to give them the mandate for the exit."

“When you have a legal issue, you hire a lawyer, when you have a tax issue, you hire a tax consultant. It is crazy to us, that sellers are going into 7 to 8-figure exit negotiations up against transaction-experienced buyers without help. Having Fortia in our corner gave us supreme confidence at all times to get the best deal possible.”

”I’ve worked with Emmett and his colleagues at Fortia for over the last six months. He's extremely knowledgeable of the e-comm space, in particular the world of AMZ and DTC aggregators. Further, he's a pleasure to partner with and delivers a high level of execution."

“The team at Fortia Group always holds themselves to the highest standard when circulating a prospectus for brands and sellers looking for the perfect acquiring partner. The team makes the process of discovering and reviewing brands extremely simple and frictionless. They conduct diligent research and only solicit brands that fit our detailed criteria. Without their assistance our corporate development team would not be able to review the same number of interesting brands. 10/10”

"It was very important to clearly understand, frame and validate our different positioning and value proposition right from the start in order to make sure we can enter into a successful seed investment round. I have found in Fortia the perfect partner in this process and decided together to seal this for the future with Fortia as founding partner in Brandslandia."

"The Fortia Group understands very well the nuances and complexities of e-commerce. E-Commerce is easy on PowerPoint slides, but you need an i-Banker that can guide exists for e-commerce Sellers and e-commerce Aggregators. Fortia can advise from a fair valuation to structuring (Financing) complex deals. I interacted to map the aggregator space with the team. I was very impressed with their sharp intellect, a bias for action, and great sense of humor! Overall a great team!"

"We'd recommend every eCommerce entrepreneur looking to exit start with the Exit Guide for Amazon FBAs by The Fortia Group. The only manual of its kind, this guide brings together insights from many market leaders on how to prepare for a successful exit. Often figuring out where to start, from which documents to prepare to ensuring your business is in a state to receive the best possible evaluation and payout is extremely challenging, and this guide helps navigate all of that and much more."
