Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our acquisition process, management approach, and partnership opportunities.
What types of e-commerce businesses does Synthesis Enterprises acquire?
We focus on e-commerce businesses with annual revenues between $500K and $10M across various sectors including consumer products, specialty retail, subscription services, and niche marketplaces. We look for businesses with strong fundamentals, established customer bases, and significant growth potential. While we're industry-agnostic, we prioritize businesses with differentiated products, healthy margins, and scalable operations.
What does your acquisition process look like?
Our acquisition process typically follows these steps: 1) Initial assessment based on your submitted information, 2) Preliminary discussions to understand your business and goals, 3) Non-binding letter of intent outlining proposed terms, 4) Due diligence period where we thoroughly review all aspects of your business, 5) Definitive agreement negotiation, and 6) Closing and transition. The entire process usually takes 60-90 days, though this can vary based on business complexity and readiness.
Can founders stay involved after acquisition?
Yes, we offer flexible options for founder involvement post-acquisition. Many founders choose to stay involved in various capacities, from full-time leadership roles to advisory positions or gradual transitions. We value founder expertise and institutional knowledge, so we structure arrangements that benefit both parties. Even in complete exits, we implement thorough knowledge transfer to ensure continuity of the business vision and operations.
How do you value e-commerce businesses?
Our valuation approach considers multiple factors beyond simple revenue or profit multiples. We analyze historical financial performance, growth trajectory, customer metrics (LTV, CAC, retention), brand strength, operational efficiency, competitive positioning, and market trends. We typically use a combination of discounted cash flow analysis, comparable transaction analysis, and strategic value assessment to arrive at fair market valuations. Our goal is to provide competitive offers that reflect both current performance and future potential.
What happens to my team after acquisition?
We recognize that team members are crucial to business success. We evaluate each team based on expertise, role alignment, and growth potential. In most cases, we retain existing team members who wish to continue with the business. We often provide enhanced career development opportunities, training, and access to expertise across our portfolio. Our goal is to support team growth while optimizing organizational structure for the next phase of business expansion.
Do you offer partnership opportunities beyond full acquisition?
Yes, we offer flexible partnership models beyond traditional acquisitions. These include majority investments with founder retention, growth capital partnerships, and strategic alliances. For businesses not yet ready for acquisition but seeking expertise and resources, we can structure arrangements that provide operational support, technology implementation, or marketing optimization while allowing owners to maintain significant control. Each partnership is tailored to specific business needs and owner objectives.
