Consumer Goods Business Brokers for High-Value Exits

Aria maintains an active database of strategic CPG acquirers, consumer-focused private equity firms, brand aggregators, and family offices with current acquisition mandates in the consumer goods sector. Outreach is conducted confidentially and targeted by buyer type, transaction size, and category fit. Every prospective buyer executes a non-disclosure agreement before receiving any identifying information about the business.

Yes. Confidentiality is a core structural element of how Aria manages every transaction, not an afterthought. Your business is presented to buyers using an anonymized executive summary until an NDA is signed. Employees, vendors, retail accounts, and distribution partners are not informed until the transaction is at a stage where disclosure is operationally necessary.

Sellers typically need three to five years of financial statements and tax returns, a current inventory schedule, supplier and co-manufacturer agreements, retailer authorization letters and distribution agreements, trademark and IP registrations, any licensing agreements, and current employee and payroll records.

The strongest sale outcomes occur when a business has two to three consecutive years of clean, growing financials, diversified distribution across retail and DTC channels, established brand equity, and no imminent channel concentration risk. Going to market immediately before or after a major retail authorization or product launch can affect buyer perception of run-rate revenue.
