In Episode 348 of Acquisitions Anonymous, we dive into a fascinating e-commerce deal: an Amazon FBA health and wellness supplements business. This business generates over $1M in annual EBITDA while operating just 15 hours a week. With its concentrated revenue from three SKUs and heavy reliance on Amazon as a channel, we explore the risks and rewards of acquiring such a focused operation.
đ Key Highlights:
- Amazon Dependency: 96% of sales from Amazon, with one SKU accounting for 80% of revenue.
- Growth Opportunities: Potential to expand into retail (GNC interest) and other Amazon markets.
- Seller Financing: Why this business doesnât qualify for SBA financing and what that means for buyers.
đĄ Takeaways:
- The challenge of moving a brand off Amazon.
- The risks of concentration in SKUs and sales channels.
- How buyers can structure deals to mitigate these risks.
