What’s an Amazon FBA Acquirer / Aggregator / Rollup?
An Amazon aggregator, rollup, or acquirer are all the same thing.
Amazon FBA Acquirers or are a group of investors that are interested in buying multiple Amazon FBA businesses and trying to both exploit economies of scale by bringing them all together and also capitalizing on low-selling multiples while also (hopefully) being able to list on public markets at high multiples. To give an example, most Amazon businesses typically sell at a 2-3.5x multiple (a multiple of their earnings) while companies listed on public stock markets can typically see valuations of 10x-50x (to give an example, Meta has a P/E ratio of about 30x). In other words, rollups we're looking to execute on valuation-arbitrage.

Selling a business can be an even bigger achievement than starting one. While some luck out with finding honest-to-goodness buyers of their business, others get caught up in less favorable situations.

What is an Amazon FBA Acquirer / Aggregator Looking for?
Despite the changing market for Amazon FBA acquirers, many are still acquiring. So what exactly are they looking to buy? Each Amazon FBA Business Acquirers has its own criteria, but there are some general requirements that everyone will have to follow, such as:
- Private Labeled Products: You sell your own branded products – most rollups aren’t looking for retail arbitragers or drop shippers.
- Profits & Margins: Ultimately, aggregators are looking for profits. If your brand isn't profitable there'll be very limited interest from any buyer. Rollups also prefer strong margins – some will require a minimum of 15% net margins and some will be agreed with 10% net margins.
- Brand Registry: You have registered under Brand Registry your trademarks, i.e. you have a defensible brand.
- Sales: depending on the acquirer, some will ask you a minimum of 80% of sales through Amazon and some others will ask you a minimum of 30%. It’s one case where diversification isn’t always a selling point.
- Amazon Fulfilment (FBA): Many sellers are still merchant fulfilled but the majority of rollups are looking to avoid brands that rely on in-house logistics. Being part of the Fulfilled by Amazon program will be one of the strong points of valuation since most of the acquirers don’t want to deal with logistics services and because of the simple reason that your product/s will have Prime status.
- No Black Hat Tactics: If you have made a deal with the devil that may result in the deactivation of your account, no acquirers will want to have to do with it.
- Not a fad: acquirers want a forward-looking business, nothing short-lived. Acquirers are looking for businesses and products that have a great scope that sells today and tomorrow.

Hi Guys,
We were hoping to get some direction to an ongoing issue.
1. We are a New Zealand company (Limited Company)
2. We will soon be required to get Liability insurance as per Amazon’s policy/requirements
3. As we are a New Zealand-based company – do you have direction, as to various insurance businesses who would insure us ?
4. What we have found recently – is that USA – based insurance companies, will only insure us, if we have a US-based LLC + EIN + US-mailing address
5. As Canadian companies yourselves – maybe you have found insurance businesses that have both met your needs, & maybe ours too !
Best Regards,
Charlie. B
Get insurance from a local NZ broker. You’re going to pay through your teeth but you can get it. We did.
