Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Repeat Purchase Rates
- Ask what percentage of revenue comes from customers who have bought before, and what the average reorder interval looks like.
- Consumer goods businesses where customers come back on their own, without discounts or active outreach, are telling you the product genuinely delivers on its promise.
- High repeat rates also mean less marketing spend required to maintain revenue, which shows up directly in margins.
Channel Mix and Concentration
- Find out where revenue comes from: Amazon, a direct website, retail distribution, or some combination.
- Businesses that sell through multiple channels are more resilient because no single platform change, algorithm update, or account suspension can derail the whole operation.
- Heavy concentration in one channel isn't a reason to walk away, but it shapes how you think about risk and what diversification work you'd want to do as an owner.
Financial Records Consistency
- Ask for sales reports from each platform reconciled against accounting software and tax returns.
- Consumer goods businesses where the numbers match cleanly across all three tell you something important about how the business has been run.
- Discrepancies between platform revenue and the books are a common source of surprises in due diligence, and finding them early protects you.
Supplier Documentation and Reorder Process
- Find out whether supplier contacts, pricing, lead times, and reorder quantities are documented somewhere outside the founder's head.
- Consumer goods businesses where the sourcing process is written down and repeatable transfer much more smoothly than ones where every reorder depends on a personal relationship that took years to build.
- Ask to see a sample of the supplier documentation and understand the lead times on key products.

In consumer goods, the spread between 2.5x and 7x reflects how many channels the business sells through, how strong the brand and review profile is, and whether someone else could run the operations without the founder.

FAQ
Consumer Goods Retail Business Acquisition
What should I look for when buying a consumer goods retail business?
Three things deserve real attention: the repeat purchase rate and what drives it, how revenue is distributed across sales channels, and whether the financial records match across platforms and books. Consumer brands where customers come back on their own, sell through multiple channels, and have clean financials are genuinely exciting acquisitions to own. Browse consumer goods businesses for sale on Rejigg to see what's available.
How much does a consumer goods retail business cost?
Most consumer goods businesses sell for 2.5 to 7 times annual profit. Single-channel businesses with solid repeat buyers typically trade at 2.5 to 4x SDE, while multi-channel brands with strong reviews and demonstrable repeat purchase rates can reach 4 to 7x EBITDA. Channel diversification and brand strength are the biggest factors that move a deal toward the higher end of the range. Use the SBA loan calculator to model financing scenarios.
How do I evaluate a consumer goods retail business before buying?
Start with three years of financials and reconcile sales reports from each platform against the accounting records and tax returns. From there, review the repeat purchase data, understand the channel mix, look at the supplier documentation, and think through what would need to transfer at close. The SBA loan calculator can help you model what different deal structures look like financially.
What due diligence questions should I ask about a consumer goods retail business?
Some good starting points: Do sales reports from each platform reconcile against accounting software and tax returns? What percentage of revenue comes from returning customers, and how often do they repurchase? How is revenue distributed across channels, and does any single platform account for more than 50% of sales? Are supplier contacts, pricing, and reorder processes documented outside the founder's head? What are the return rates and review scores by product? What Amazon account health metrics look like, and are there any open issues?
Where can I find consumer goods businesses for sale?

How is inventory handled when buying a consumer goods brand?
Inventory is typically valued separately at close and added to the deal price. You and the seller will agree on a valuation method, usually landed cost rather than retail price, and a cutoff date for the count. It's worth reviewing inventory by product: what's selling quickly, what's been sitting, and whether any seasonal products need to be timed carefully. Slow-moving inventory is usually negotiated at a discount. Getting this conversation started early prevents last-minute complications at close.
Does an Amazon seller account transfer when buying a consumer goods business?
Yes, Amazon accounts can transfer to a new owner. The process involves legal entity changes and requires coordination with Amazon's seller support, and the account needs to be in good standing with no active violations or performance issues. Before getting too far into a deal, ask the seller to show you the account health dashboard and confirm there are no open notices or policy warnings. A trademark registered to the business entity makes the brand registry transfer much cleaner too.
