Read the lease before anything else
Remaining term, renewal options, rent escalations, and assignment rights can make or break a retail deal. A great store with a weak or non-transferable lease is a problem you inherit.

What to know about retail business acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating retail business acquisitions.
Value the inventory carefully
Establish what inventory is included, how it is valued, and how much is dead or seasonal stock. Inventory is often a large and negotiable part of the price.
Verify sales and margins at the register
Reconcile point-of-sale data against bank deposits and tax returns. Understand gross margin by category and how discounting affects it.
Assess foot traffic and the trade area
Location quality, nearby anchors, and parking drive walk-in revenue. Visit at different times and check that the trade area still supports the business.
Map supplier terms and concentration
Exclusive brands, supplier credit, and minimum order sizes affect both margin and risk. Make sure those relationships transfer to a new owner.
Clarify owner and staff roles
Owner-run stores often lean on the owner relationships and hours. Understand staffing, turnover, and what it costs to operate without the seller.
