Frequently asked questions — Retail acquisitions
How is a retail business valued?
Retail businesses typically trade at 1.5–3× SDE. Location, lease terms, inventory quality, and foot traffic trends are the primary value drivers.
What should I check before buying a retail business?
Request POS data broken down by product category, verify inventory quality and valuation method, check lease duration and renewal options.
How do I assess a retail location's value?
Analyse foot traffic counts, nearby competition density, lease cost as a percentage of revenue (ideally under 10%), and proximity to anchor tenants.
