Key takeaways
Focus on building winning SKUs/ASINs with strong organic search rankings, excellent ratings/reviews, and low return rates to attract buyers.

Understand that selling off-Amazon (e.g., through a DTC website) significantly increases your business's valuation and broadens your buyer pool.
Aim for strong profit margins and sustainable growth, demonstrating consistent profitability and a clear path for future expansion.
Actively reduce reliance on any single supplier, customer, or platform to de-risk your business and make it more appealing to potential acquirers.
