Instead, focus on acquiring a strategic asset that fuels your brand's growth. Here's how to define your ideal target across key criteria: 1. Industry and Product Category: Focus: E-commerce Retail (especially Amazon FBA) with own brands (private label or custom products). Rationale: Aligns with your existing expertise and leverages established fulfillment infrastructure. Product Categories: Ideally, Pet Supplies. Open to others with strong profitability and growth. 2. Business Location: Current Focus: UK-based company (for now). Future may consider USA businesses. Rationale: Minimizes logistical and operational complexities initially. Open to expansion later. 3. Revenue: Ideal Range: £1,000,000 - £2,000,000 per year (monthly ca £80K - £170K). Minimum Acceptable: £500,000 per year (monthly approx £40K). Maximum Acceptable: £5,000,000 per year (monthly approx £400K). First Deal Flexibility: Willing to consider smaller businesses initially, if necessary. Rationale: Aligns with your budget, growth goals, and resource allocation capabilities. 4. Business Age: Minimum: 3 years in operation. Preferred: 5+ years. Rationale: Provides a track record of performance and stability. 5. Profitability: This is a crucial metric. Profitability Measure: SDE (Seller's Discretionary Earnings) or EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). Owner-Managed: Minimum 10% SDE or 20% EBITDA. No Management: Minimum 20% SDE (operating profit is a reasonable approximation for now). Profit Growth: Ideally, year-on-year EBITDA growth. Minimum, stable year-over-year and month-to-month (allowing for seasonality). Declining profits are not ideal but may be considered. Rationale: Ensures a healthy return on investment and a sustainable business model. 6. Management Team: Preferred: Management team in place. Open to: Businesses without existing management. Considerations: Cashflow must cover management costs, leaving at least 10% EBITDA (20% SDE minimum for businesses without management). Rationale: A strong management team streamlines post-acquisition integration and fosters ongoing success. Remember, this is your ideal target. Be flexible, but don't compromise on core criteria. The right acquisition will complement your brand and propel your e-commerce empire to new heights. Your Ideal Acquisition Target Specification: A Case Study Let's build a concrete example of your ideal acquisition target based on your outlined criteria. This will further solidify your vision: My Ideal Acquisition Target: Industry: E-commerce Retail (Amazon FBA) - Pet Supplies (preferred) Location: UK-based (for now) Revenue: £1,200,
