Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Product-Level Economics
- Ask for unit economics on the top five to ten products: cost to manufacture, cost to land, average selling price, and return rate by channel.
- A product with a 10x markup and a 3% return rate is a very different asset from one with a 3x markup and a 15% return rate.
- Having those numbers by product, not just blended across the catalog, lets you separate the profitable core from the items that dilute it.
- Proven bestsellers with 10x margins and low return rates are what you're really paying for in a fashion acquisition.
Channel Diversification
- Find out what percentage of revenue comes from each channel: own website, Amazon, wholesale, and any others.
- A brand doing 90% of sales through one platform carries concentration risk that belongs in your offer.
- The best fashion acquisitions spread revenue across at least two channels, with wholesale relationships providing steady reorder volume alongside direct-to-consumer.
Supplier Relationships
- Get a clear picture of the supply chain: who makes the product, what lead times look like, and whether there are backup suppliers for key items.
- Ask to see manufacturing costs, quality control processes, and any exclusive arrangements.
- A documented supplier relationship running for three or more years is worth more than a cheaper source that's newer and less tested.
Inventory Position and Velocity
- Ask for a current inventory list showing what's on hand, where it's located, and how fast each product moves.
- Separate the healthy stock from the slow-moving items before you set a price.
- Slow-moving inventory is often a negotiation point, not a dealbreaker, but you need the SKU-level view to have that conversation.

FAQ
Apparel & Fashion Business Acquisition
What should I look for when buying a fashion business?
The three things that matter most are product economics, channel diversification, and supply chain clarity. Ask for unit-level margins and return rates on the top products, what percentage of revenue comes from each sales channel, and who manufactures the product and on what terms. A brand with 10x margins, multi-channel distribution, and a documented supply chain is a very different acquisition from one that's dependent on a single platform and a founder who manages every supplier call. Browse fashion businesses for sale on Rejigg.
How much does a fashion business cost?
Most fashion businesses sell for 2 to 7 times annual profit. Single-channel brands with owner-dependent operations typically trade in the 2 to 4x SDE range. Multi-channel brands with documented supply chains, strong product margins, and a team in place can reach 4 to 7x EBITDA. Use the SBA loan calculator to understand what different deal sizes mean for your monthly payments.
How do I evaluate a fashion business before buying?
Start with three years of financials and make sure they match the platform reports: Amazon payouts, website analytics, and wholesale invoices should all tell the same story. Then build a product-level view: what are the margins, return rates, and velocity for the top ten SKUs? Ask for a current inventory count and a supplier list with lead times. The cleaner the numbers are at the product level, the more confident you can be about what the business is really worth.
What due diligence questions should I ask about a fashion business?
Start with: What are the margins and return rates on the top five products? What percentage of revenue comes from each sales channel? Who are the manufacturers and how long has each relationship been in place? Does the Amazon seller account have any past suspensions or active policy warnings? What does the current inventory look like by SKU and location? Are there any trademarks registered? Who manages supplier communication and fulfillment day to day?
Where can I find fashion businesses for sale?

How do returns and inventory affect a fashion acquisition?
Returns are one of the most important variables to investigate in apparel. Ask for return rates by product and by channel. High return rates on specific products often trace back to sizing inconsistencies or photography that misrepresents the item, and those are fixable. For inventory, get a list of every SKU on hand with quantity, location, and trailing sales velocity. Separating healthy stock from slow-moving items before close is standard, and it's often a negotiating point rather than a reason to walk away.
What happens to Amazon seller accounts in a fashion business sale?
Amazon accounts can transfer, but the process requires planning. Review the account health metrics, check for any past suspensions or policy violations, and confirm that the brand registry and trademarks are clearly owned by the entity being sold. Buyers will want clean account records and a transfer timeline worked out before closing. A well-run Amazon account with positive seller metrics and a registered trademark transfers without issue in most deals.
