Why Now: Addressing Urgent SMB Payment Needs 

The market timing is critical because small-to-midsize businesses (SMBs) are rapidly consolidating their payment processing and fulfillment solutions onto single platforms. They need Integrated payments software that simplifies operations, not adds complexity. This urgency is driven by rising operational costs and the need for seamless E-commerce fulfillment solutions to compete with larger retailers.

Market Shift Validation

• Online Store sellers are projected to grow from 35.0% (2026) to 47.0% (2030) of your seller mix, validating the digital shift.
• The average seller acquisition cost (CAC) declines from $500 (2026) to $300 (2030), showing improved marketing efficiency as the market matures.
• Fixed commission per order rises from $0.10 to $0.15 by 2030, capturing more value as transaction volume increases.

What You Do: Leveraging the Dual-Sided Marketplace 

You are building a dual-sided marketplace that captures value through a high-margin GMV commission model and sticky subscription revenue. Your win strategy focuses on efficient SMB seller acquisition strategy and driving high repeat orders from buyers. The initial fixed overhead is manageable, allowing you to hit break-even quickly.

Operational Efficiency Drivers

• Buyer CAC starts low at $20 (2026) and drops to $10 (2030), supporting rapid Dual-sided marketplace growth.
• Your cost of goods sold (COGS), including Interchange and Gateway fees, starts at 2.30% of GMV and declines to 2.00% by 2030, boosting gross margins.
• Initial fixed overhead (excluding wages) is $8,800/month, providing a low base for scaling operations.

Who Buys: Targeting High-Value Enterprise Buyers 

While individuals make up 70.0% of your initial buyer mix, the financial opportunity lies in scaling high-AOV segments like Small Biz and Enterprise. Enterprise buyers drive significant GMV with $500 Average Order Value (AOV) and 8.0 monthly repeat orders in 2026. Scaling buyer acquisition-with budgets rising from $200k to $1.5M-validates the size of the opportunity and supports a 30.71% Return on Equity (ROE).

Market Opportunity Metrics

• Enterprise AOV is $500.00, compared to $40.00 for Individual buyers, making Enterprise sales critical.
• Small Biz buyers pay a $9.00 monthly subscription fee (2026), adding a stable, non-transactional revenue stream.
• The five-year EBITDA projection of $17.0M demonstrates substantial long-term value for investors.
