Based on activity on Axial’s M&A platform, the core revenue range for Apparel Retail Independent Sponsors is $3M-$15M, with a core EBITDA range of $600K-$3M. Company size can be an important indicator of fit, as firms often concentrate their experience, resources, and transaction activity within particular segments of the market.

Relevant Retail experience can be an important consideration when evaluating a firm.
