At ONEtoONE, we advise retail and consumer brand companies, shareholders and investors on M&A transactions across the retail and consumer ecosystem. We combine sector knowledge, disciplined financial analysis and access to international strategic and financial buyers to support growth, acquisition and exit strategies. Our work focuses on positioning each company effectively, identifying the right counterparties and executing transactions with precision in a market shaped by omnichannel integration, data-driven personalisation and conscious consumption.
We specialize in M&A across:
Retail success now depends on integrating physical and digital channels. M&A enables traditional retailers to gain e-commerce capabilities, while digital-native brands are acquired for their physical footprint and logistics networks.
In retail, data has become the key asset as loyalty weakens. M&A is targeting retailers with strong loyalty programs and AI analytics to predict behaviour, optimise pricing in real time, and enable hyper-personalized marketing.
Sustainability is now a key valuation driver. M&A is accelerating the shift to “clean” retail, with firms acquiring brands focused on sustainable supply chains, circular models like resale or rental, and transparent sourcing.
Global conglomerates are bypassing traditional retail channels by acquiring DTC brands. This gives them higher margins, full brand control, and direct access to first-party consumer data.
