Beverage Brand Acquisition

Clarifying Questions:


• Is the goal to enter a new segment or strengthen an existing portfolio?

    • Assess alignment with existing brand portfolio and distribution.
    • Evaluate overlap or cannibalization risk.
    • Identify cross-selling opportunities.

  1. Growth sustainability
    • Analyze historical growth drivers and repeat purchase rates.
    • Assess competitive intensity in functional beverages.
    • Evaluate brand loyalty and differentiation.

  1. Deal economics
    • Compare valuation to growth and margin profile.
    • Model integration costs and synergies.
    • Assess risks to projected revenue trajectory.
