Private label - you are selling primarily your own branded products
Large enough - generating minimum net profit levels (Each acquirer is different but most require minimum $200k annual net profit*, some require $500k annual net profit* )
Strong net profit margins - most say minimum 15% net margins, some are looking for 20% and above: for all acquirers, the higher the better
Amazon focus - each acquirer is different, some say minimum 80% of sales through Amazon, some say minimum 30%
Amazon fulfilment - must be FBA (or seller-fulfilled prime in some cases); much less appetite for FBM businesses
Brand registry - you own your own trademark and you have attained Amazon’s Brand Registry 2.0 designation
No black hat tactics - you haven’t ever engaged in anything that might result in a future deactivation of your account
Not a fad - the business should not be selling a “here today, gone tomorrow” product
Size - the larger the better
Net margins - the larger the better (eg: £400k profit from £2m sales is actually more attractive than £400k profit from £3.5m sales)
Growth - consistent strong growth (Especially if there is a reason to expect even faster growth in future (eg: have not launched yet in some major Amazon markets)
Leading positions in organic searches on Amazon - this is important
Relatively few SKUs - it is more attractive to these acquirers if 95% of your sales are from 5 SKUs (or variations of them) than 500 SKUs
Higher percentage on Amazon - if your business is 90% Amazon, more of these buyers will be interested than if it’s 50% Amazon (This is changing - as the FBA aggregators build out their operational capacity they are increasingly interested in multi-channel operations. Many of them are now specifically seeking businesses with substantial DTC revenues and will consider businesses with less than 50% of sales via Amazon)
The biggest factor that affects the final price and terms of the deal is how effectively the sale process is executed. Selling the business to one of the acquirers above will usually result in an acceptable outcome, but by no means the highest price. No buyer will voluntarily pay the maximum they can afford, or offer the absolute best terms, if they don’t have a reason to do so. Dealing with them on your own will simply not result in the best price and terms.
Preparing the business for sale properly, presenting it well, to the right people, at the right time, and managing a competitive bidding process properly will allow the business to reach its full market potential and achieve the best terms for the seller.
This can be handled very quickly where necessary. We have had sellers come to us after receiving good offers from reputable buyers, and within two weeks we have negotiated a total price for them of 25% more than they had achieved on their own, and with better terms. Sellers who are negotiating on their own are leaving money on the table.
Selling directly without a broker entails other risks. For example in 2021 we have heard of multiple cases of Amazon Aggregators retrading on deals (an unprofessional practice), and each time this has occurred the seller has been dealing directly with the buyer, without a professional broker like Hahnbeck representing them. It’s important to have a team on your side to protect your interests.
Remember also that the buyers in the list above are not the only buyers - there are many other acquirers of Amazon FBA businesses (see below).
The list above does not include all of the other acquirers of Amazon FBA and e-commerce businesses, some of whom individually have access to as much as $50,000,000 to invest in acquisitions. These buyers include family offices, strategic buyers, e-commerce brand houses and individuals.
These groups are diverse and each has different investment criteria. Some are looking specifically for private label Amazon FBA businesses, other are looking more broadly for e-commerce businesses with a variety of business models. One of the family offices we work has more stringent criteria than the institutional buyers in terms of size (minimum $1m EBITDA), whereas many others have slightly more inclusive criteria, in one dimension or another.
Many of the most successful builders of Amazon FBA businesses are also seeking to grow through acquisition. Rather than relying purely on their ability to build successful new brands, they see what the other acquirers see: acquisition is a faster and more reliable route to growth. Some of the largest Amazon sellers in Europe have approached Hahnbeck looking for acquisitions of up-and-coming brands.
Here’s a step-by-step process on how you can identify a product opportunity:
Go to Amazon New Releases.
Go down to the third or fourth category
Find a simple, light, and small product that has a price range of $10 - $40, has a BSR of 20,000 maximum, and has a review maximum of 100 only.
When you have found your product, identify your potential competitors and evaluate their listing; identify the keywords where the product is most popular; and, analyze if you can make better main image than your competitors.
Then, rate your competition according to the following levels so that you’ll know how low the competition is:
Level 1: 1-3 images, 0-20 reviews, short bullets, short description, no video
Level 2: 7 images, 20-100 reviews, short bullets, short description, no video
Level 3: 7 images, 100 - 300 reviews, longer bullets, moderate text description, no video
Level 4: 7 images, 300 - 500 reviews, long bullets, moderate text description, no video
Level 5: 7 images, 500< reviews, strong long bullets, pictures in Product description, video on the listing
Tip: the lack of images is the best indicator of low competition.
There are few tools that you can use for product research: Unicorn Smasher or Jungle Scout. You can also use this Product Research Sheet for your product opportunity.
#2 Patent Research
After identifying the product you want to sell, you have to know if your brand or product has existing trademark by doing patent research.
Amazon takes intellectual property very seriously.
The challenged is that, it’s impossible to be 100% certain that it’s not already patented since it usually come and go, and they are market-specific (e.g.US, Canada, Europe, and China).
However, it must not discourage you to continue your progress. To minimize risk, order minimal inventory at first. You can start with your first 100 units and Amazon will accept that.
You can start your patent research in different marketplace below:
US: https://www.uspto.gov/
UK: https://www.gov.uk/search-for-patent
Canada: http://www.ic.gc.ca/opic-cipo/cpd/eng/search/number.html
Tip: When there are a lot of sellers selling exactly the same product, it’s an indication that it’s not yet patented.
#3 Profitability Research
When doing the profitability research, you need to ask potential suppliers of your product for the manufacturing cost, minimum order quantity, how long does it take for them to finish the inventory, and shipping cost to US.
You can find these potential supplier in www.alibaba.com, tick the “Golden Supplier” and “Trade Assurance” box because these are trustworthy.
Use the Product Research Sheet under the Key Information Tab to input the details that you gathered.
From there, you can calculate the total investment cost, net profit, and gross profit when you start selling on Amazon.
#4 Product Market Research / Perfect Product Blueprint
In this research, we will collect the information about the product idea we want to sell.
Read and study the competitor’s reviews to understand the needs of our potential customers.
The customer’s reviews will give us valuable information, such as possible quality, usability and safety issues, which we need to avoid when we are sourcing our product from China, evaluating samples, or creating listing and the content.
Eliminating these issues will make our product the superior one in the market.
Use this Product Blueprint Template to guide you while making your product market research.
#5 Listing & Shipping
Create your listing using UPC code and make a dummy shipping plan in your Amazon Seller Central so that you’ll know if Amazon will allow you to sell your product.
Amazon may require certification/s for your product that you have to ask from your supplier before allowing you to sell your product.
Later, when you confirm that you will continue with the product, you will print out the shipping label, and send it to your manufacturer.
It is important to do this before paying your supplier in full.
Once you have paid them in full, if Amazon asked for additional, i.e. certification, and you didn’t get one from your supplier, then they are no longer obligated to give you the said certification.
Watch this video on how you can create Amazon Listing and how to create Amazon Shipping Plan
Bonus: Plan of Action
We need to create a plan of action with all the information we have collected because our intention is to release better product that is currently on the market.
In the Product Blueprint Template, there are questions about product complaints, including quality, usability, instruction, and other issues.
With that information, we will create a plan of action for our sourcing by making a list that you need to discuss and negotiate with your supplier if they can prevent the issues on your list, including its additional cost.
Through this, you will learn and understand if that product idea is a good one or not.
Otherwise, look for another product that’s very profitable and will allow you to dominate the market.
Sellers of e-commerce businesses should not forget that the individual buyers - the group who has historically been responsible for most Amazon FBA acquisitions - are still very much in the market. At Hahnbeck we work with larger businesses (>£1m) but even at this level there is still a strong contingent of individual buyers bidding for acquisitions. Bear in mind of course that it takes exceptional foresight and confidence as an individual buyer to compete against the likes of Thrasio and Perch for acquisitions, and most of the individuals who inquire about these businesses ultimately are left behind in the bidding. But there are individuals who have the ability to compete for these acquisitions, and it would be to the seller’s detriment not to include them, as doing so would in some cases exclude the eventual highest bidder.
The price and terms of the acquisition are not all that matter of course, and while each of the institutional buyers and other groups mentioned above brings different things to the table, sometimes individual buyers can make a personal connection with a seller in a way that institutional buyers are sometimes not able to do, especially if they are not located in the same geography.
Family Offices are the investment arms of wealthy families. They vary a little in size but are large enough to have employees, which differentiates them from individuals and partnerships. Some represent one family while others are a combination of investments from several families. They may raise outside capital in addition to their own, so there is a blurred line between these groups and private equity funds. We’ve seen family offices paying increased attention to e-commerce lately, as it becomes clear that the sector is outperforming others and will continue to do so.
Search funds and other small private equity groups are increasingly looking at e-commerce acquisitions. While previously these groups preferred traditional, even “boring” businesses in sectors that are relatively unmodernised, we are noticing increased interest for e-commerce businesses amongst these buyers. Like many others, they have seen the potential for scalability offered by e-commerce and are paying increased attention to the space.
Very often we see owners of successful businesses in other sectors who are looking to diversify their holdings into e-commerce. We also see small private equity groups and partnerships planning to acquire multiple e-commerce businesses and combine them into one entity, similar to the roll-up model pursued but the institutional investors above, but at a smaller scale.
These groups have multiple e-commerce brands under one roof, typically having grown through a mix of building and acquiring the brands over time. These businesses were amongst the earliest acquirers of Amazon FBA businesses (and other e-commerce small businesses), and they are still very much in the market for acquisitions.
Strategic buyers are companies in the same industry or related industries to the target company. For e-commerce businesses this does not simply mean “other e-commerce businesses” - it refers to businesses in the same niche. For example an e-commerce business focused on vitamins and nutritional supplements would make a great acquisition for a larger supplements company, even if that supplements company primarily uses other channels (like brick-and-mortar retail) for their existing business. An Amazon FBA business selling a brand of sportswear may be acquired by a larger sportswear brand. An e-commerce business selling drones might be acquired by a strategic buyer selling other technology, looking to add drones to its product range.
Strategic buyers are important because they can usually make more profit from the acquisition than anyone else*, so they are normally a very important group to work with in a sale. However, they do tend to be constrained by traditional methodologies in a way that they new institutional buyers are not: for example larger strategics will still not usually look at very small (£1m) acquisition targets. Larger strategics also suffer from the all of the issues of large companies in terms of speed and flexibility - they will be more rigid and usually much slower than everyone else. But for an acquisition of the right size, a strategic buyer can often pay more in total consideration. The hard part is bringing them to the table.
* In the case of Amazon FBA businesses the maxim that strategic buyers “have the most to gain from an acquisition” is being tested - e-commerce brand houses and institutional buyers of Amazon FBA businesses are often able to realise substantial synergies, and can improve businesses post-acquisition to the point where they can arguably make more profit from the acquisition than a traditional strategic acquirer.
Several former Amazon aggregator firms have pivoted away from the model, been acquired or shut down. Here is a list:
Boopos - pivoted to new business model
Brands United - no longer acquiring
Diverge Group - pivoted to new business model
Fortia Group - pivoted to new business model
Orange Brands - acquired by Berlin Brands Group
Plus Ultra Group- no longer acquiring
Primeridian - no longer acquiring
River Sea Network - pivoted to new business model
Thirstii - acquired by Thrasio
Zeelos - no longer acquiring

There are many sales platform out there that we can use to start our online business.
But, why Amazon?
In this blog, we will discuss the reasons why Amazon is the best business opportunity and a great place to start your own eCommerce empire.
1. Amazon is a mammoth.
Amazon is a huge player that you definitely cannot ignore.
In 2017, Amazon’s annual net sales revenue is $177.87B, Google is $109.65B, eBay is $9.6B, Alibaba is $39.9B, Apple is $229.23B, and Walmart is 481.32B.
Noting that Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, has a net worth of $143.1B and the first person to top $100B as number one is Forbes list of the World’s Billionaires.
Amazon is the Top Online Retail Store with 1.87 billion average monthly traffic and 54.1% traffic share, followed by eBay and Walmart.
For this reason, the odds of getting customers and produce sales are highly in your favor even for a small start-up business.
2. Amazon invest heavily into growth.
Amazon has more customers due to its Amazon Prime subscription wherein they offer more deals, discounts, and promos to their Prime members.
Likewise, they expand their marketplace outside of US and acquire market share in existing these marketplaces.
All of these can be used to our advantage as an Amazon seller.
3. Amazon has traffic.
There’s a saying that goes like this, “go where the money is”.
Did you know that every other dollar in US eCommerce goes to Amazon?
So, that shows how huge of a player Amazon actually is.
They already have a huge amount of traffic in their website, especially in the US; It’s a safe and secure place to buy; and, people are already familiar how Amazon works!
Thus, you don’t need to get the buyer’s trust because Amazon has it.
4. FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon).
Amazon is the one handling the heavy part of eCommerce – logistics.
They handle shipment, return, and customer service related to orders.
Because of this, Amazon sellers can concentrate mainly on marketing and product listing optimization.
5. Amazon has 12 marketplaces.
Amazon already reached these 12 marketplaces:
USA, Canada, Mexcio, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, China, India, and Australia.
They use similar/the same platform across all marketplaces, that’s why, it would be easy for you to use different marketplaces once you master one.
Also, they have the resources to break through in each market. So, there are more marketplaces to come as they expand.
6. Amazon provides scalability.
Even if you sell in one Amazon Marketplace, for example in USA, you can still grow really fast and BIG.
But, of course, our target customer is worldwide, which we can use Amazon for to sell our products globally in the comforts of our home.
7. Amazon seller registration is fast to set-up.
It’s quick to register and set-up your Amazon Seller Central account and you can start selling the same day.
8. Amazon is as passive as eCommerce can be.
Building your Amazon account means building your own brand.
Unlike affiliate marketing or retail arbitrage where you sell other people’s products,
Amazon gives you the opportunity to sell your own product with your own brand, which you can sell later on if you choose to exit the business.
There’s a big demand for Amazon businesses (brands selling on Amazon) in US right now.
This means that there are a lot of buyers looking to acquire brands that are selling on Amazon.
