Businesses selling food in Denmark — including online only — must be registered with the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (Fødevarestyrelsen). As the new owner, you have to arrange the registration yourself before taking over operations. Ask for the latest inspection report (the smiley rating), and check whether specific requirements apply to the products the shop sells, such as chilled and frozen goods, food supplements or imports from outside the EU. If the shop sells alcohol, also check the rules for selling and delivering it. A local adviser is worth having if you are buying from abroad.

Coffee, tea and staples are bought again and again, and subscriptions are common, which makes repeat purchases and active subscribers the key figures. Shelf life pulls the other way: short-dated goods cause waste, and the stock must be counted with dates. Find out how goods are stored and packed, and whether the warehouse, cold storage or packing facility is included or rented.
Many food shops also have clear peaks around Christmas gifts, corporate gifts and barbecue season. Ask for monthly revenue and how much comes from business customers, who may be tied to the seller personally.
Price and key figuresSitavo’s indicative range is 2–4 times annual profit, cross-checked against 0.5–1.5 times revenue.Finance
Sitavo’s indicative range is 2–4 times annual profit, cross-checked against 0.5–1.5 times revenue. Loyal subscribers, own products or recipes and a recognisable brand push the price up. High shipping costs for chilled and frozen goods, waste and reliance on a single producer pull it down.
