A buyer's perspective
What I look for when I buy an appliance business.
I have spent years selling, marketing and distributing appliances. Here is how I evaluate a business, and what owners can expect when they talk to me.
I buy businesses I understand
The appliance business is relationships, logistics and service. Brand agreements, dealer networks, freight, installation, warranty and showroom experience all have to work together.
Because I have worked inside that world, I can look past the spreadsheet and see what really drives a company, and what it needs to grow.
What I look for
Strong brand relationships
Supplier agreements and territories built over years.
Good people
A team that knows the products and cares about customers.
Room to grow
New channels, regions, products or online sales.
Clean operations
Inventory, warehousing and service that are well run.
Honest numbers
Records that show how the business really performs.
Straight talk
I will tell you quickly whether there is a fit, and why. If there is, you will get clear terms rather than a moving target.
Respect for what you built
Your team, your customers and your reputation matter to me. I plan transitions with them in mind, and I am open to owners staying involved for a period.
An operator after closing
I do not buy businesses to flip them. I buy them to run them well and grow them, alongside my brother Elie and the Fouerti team.
