Suitable shed base on a slope

Hi, I need some help with a shed build. My garden is sloped. The garden is approx 9/10m long and I would estimate the drop off at the rear of the garden to be about 2ft. I was thinking of putting the shed here at the bottom of the garden, would it be suitable, if yes , which type of base would be best suited?Thanks

"Depending on size of base I always recommend a reinforced concrete base minimum 130mm thick.
The slope isnt a major issue, just obviously need your base frame level. If its deeper at one end you can back fill with hardcore."
