Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Multi-year contract durability
- Ask for a contract summary with start dates, lengths, renewal dates, and what happens when ownership changes.
- Look at the actual renewal history, not just the seller's description of it — contracts that have renewed two or three times already show real staying power.
- Find out whether any major contracts are coming up for renewal in the next 12 months, because the timing matters for how you structure the deal.
- Contracts renewed two or three times already are among the clearest signals you'll find that a client relationship has genuine depth.
Platform integration depth
- Supply chain software embedded in a client's ordering, inventory, or warehouse workflows creates switching costs that are genuinely hard to replicate.
- Ask how deeply the platform connects to client systems and whether any implementations would take months to replicate if a client wanted to leave.
- When replacing the platform would mean retraining teams, rebuilding reports, and disrupting active operations, clients tend to stay even through rough patches.
- Integration depth is often more valuable than contract length alone — ask for specific examples of how clients use the system day to day.
Government contract access
- Ask whether the business holds any federal or state government contracts and what certifications are required to maintain them.
- Government contracts represent years of relationship-building and compliance investment that a new competitor can't shortcut.
- Find out whether any team members hold individual clearances and how those factor into the company's ability to bid on new work.
- Small business set-aside certifications don't automatically transfer to a new owner, so understanding that process early is worth the time.
Team operational independence
- Ask who manages the top five client relationships today and how long those people have been in that role.
- A company where regional managers handle clients and operations without the founder is a much easier acquisition than one where the owner is the main contact for every account.
- Find out whether key team members have any retention agreements in place and whether there's a plan for them post-sale.
- The ability to step in without disrupting ongoing client operations depends entirely on how much of the business is genuinely team-managed.
Revenue mix across service types
- Ask for a breakdown of revenue by type: consulting engagements, software subscriptions, warehouse or fulfillment operations.
- A mix across service types means the business can absorb a slowdown in one area without the whole picture changing.
- Look at what percentage of revenue is contractually committed versus project-by-project, because those two categories carry very different risk profiles.
- A natural pipeline from consulting work into longer-term software or managed services contracts is a healthy sign of how new revenue gets created.

FAQ
Supply Chain Management Business Acquisition
What should I look for when buying a supply chain management business?
Start with contract quality. Ask for a breakdown of revenue between long-term agreements and project work, and look at actual renewal history rather than asking the seller to describe it. Then look at whether the platform or software is embedded in client workflows in ways that create real switching costs. Finally, understand who manages the key client relationships and operations, and whether those people are likely to stay. Browse supply chain management businesses for sale on Rejigg to see what's available.
How much does a supply chain management business cost?
Most supply chain management businesses sell for 3 to 9 times annual profit. The range is wide because the quality difference between businesses is significant. A consulting shop without software or government contracts might sell at 3 to 4 times profit, while a company with multi-year government contracts and an embedded software platform could reach 7 to 9 times. Use the SBA loan calculator to understand what financing would look like at different price points.
How do I evaluate a supply chain management business before buying?
Ask for three years of financials broken out by revenue type, a contract summary with renewal dates and ownership-change provisions, and an overview of any technology platforms the business operates or licenses. Review the team structure and ask who manages each major client relationship. If the business has government contracts, understand what the certification requirements are and what the transfer process looks like for each one.
What due diligence questions should I ask about a supply chain management business?
Ask whether any contracts have change-of-ownership clauses that could allow clients to exit after the sale. Find out what certifications are required to maintain government contract eligibility and what happens if those lapse. Ask who holds the key client relationships and whether any major accounts are currently in active renewal negotiations. If the business operates a software platform, ask about the infrastructure, hosting arrangements, and whether any client data agreements affect what can be disclosed or transferred.

How do government contracts transfer when buying a supply chain business?
The transfer process varies by contract type. Most commercial government contracts can be assigned with notification, but some require the new owner to independently qualify, which can take time. Small business set-aside certifications don't automatically transfer if the buyer doesn't meet the same requirements. The most important thing is to request copies of all government contracts early in diligence and review them with someone who understands federal contracting. Surprises in this area are common and can significantly affect deal timing.
What's the difference between buying a supply chain consulting firm versus a tech-enabled supply chain company?
A consulting firm earns revenue through people-hours and expertise, which is valuable but doesn't scale without adding headcount. A tech-enabled company has software or proprietary systems that let it handle more volume without proportional cost increases. The best acquisitions are often companies that use consulting engagements as the entry point for longer-term software or managed services contracts, because that pipeline from services to recurring revenue creates durable income that compounds over time.
