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.
