Not ready to sell?
I also help e-commerce founders grow so they can exit on their terms. When you are ready to have that conversation, the sell your business page walks through exactly how I work with sellers. Or get the newsletter for deal flow and market insights.

How it works
Initial conversation
We talk for 30 minutes. You tell me about the business, I tell you about how I operate. No obligation.
NDA and financials
If there's mutual interest, we sign an NDA and you share 2-3 years of P&Ls and key metrics.
LOI in 2 weeks
I move fast. If the numbers work, I'll send a non-binding letter of intent within two weeks of receiving financials.
Close in 60 days
Due diligence, legal, and close. I've done this before and won't waste your time.
FAQ
Common questions on acquisitions
What size businesses do you buy?
$500K-$5M EBITDA. Multi-channel preferred (Amazon plus DTC, TikTok Shop, or wholesale) but not required. Two-plus years in operation, EBITDA positive, and a real brand with some defensible moat.
How fast can you move on a deal?
LOI within two weeks of receiving financials. Close in 60 days if due diligence is clean. I've done this before and won't waste your time on extensions or last-minute renegotiations.
Do you work with brokers?
Yes, but I prefer direct conversations with founders when possible. If you're working with Empire Flippers, Quiet Light, Website Closers, or another broker, I'll work through them or come direct. Your call.
Do you provide seller financing?
Often, yes. Most of my deals include some seller note or earnout structure. Pure cash deals happen for the right business, but a balanced structure usually serves both sides better.
What happens to the team after acquisition?
I keep operating teams in place wherever possible. The people who built the business usually know things I don't. If you have key employees, that's a positive in the deal, not a friction point.
