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.
