Finding a Business Is Easy. Knowing Whether You Should Buy It Is the Hard Part.
If you've been looking at e-commerce businesses for sale, you already know how this works.
A business looks great on the listing.
- Good revenue.
- Good margins.
- Strong growth.
Then you start asking questions.
Where are those profits actually coming from? How dependent is the business on the owner? Are the customers really that valuable? Are the numbers consistent? What happens when you remove the seller from the business?
And then there's the asking price.
Is it actually worth what they're asking?
This is where we come in.
At Trend Hijacking, we work with buyers looking to acquire established e-commerce businesses. We don't just introduce you to a seller and leave you to figure the rest out.
We help you through the acquisition.
We start by understanding what you're looking for and then source businesses that fit. A large part of our network is private, so you're not limited to whatever happens to be sitting on a public marketplace.
Once we find something interesting, we dig into it.
Our due diligence covers the financials, operations, customers, suppliers, marketing, assets and the areas that can materially affect what the business is actually worth.
If the numbers don't stack up, we'll tell you.
If there are problems, we'll find them.
And if the business makes sense, we help you work out what it's worth and negotiate with the seller.
That could mean negotiating the purchase price, changing the payment terms, introducing an earn-out, deferring part of the consideration or looking at financing options where appropriate.
The objective isn't to get you to buy a business. It's to help you make a good acquisition decision.
And once the deal is agreed, we're still involved.
We help coordinate the acquisition and handover, transferring the important accounts, systems, suppliers, team, and processes, and provide support during the initial period of ownership.
For buyers who want more help after the acquisition, we can also work with you on the operational side of the business, from improving the existing setup to identifying the biggest opportunities for growth.
✔ You're still the owner.
✔ You make the final decision.
✔ You own the business.
We're the team around the deal.
We've been involved in 493+ e-commerce acquisitions, with $126.7M+ in transaction volume and a 92.7% acquisition success rate.
