Finding a business is easy. Finding the right one is hard.

There are plenty of e-commerce businesses available for acquisition. The difficult part is knowing which ones are actually worth pursuing. A good acquisition starts with the right opportunity. That means looking beyond the asking price and understanding the business behind it: its financials, operations, customers, risks, and room for growth. It also means knowing how to structure and negotiate the deal before you commit capital. That is where we come in.

When we started working in e-commerce acquisitions, we saw a gap between the number of businesses available and the quality of information buyers had when evaluating them. A business can look attractive from the outside and still have problems beneath the surface. Revenue can hide weak margins. Growth can hide customer concentration. A strong brand can depend too heavily on its founder. And an attractive asking price doesn't necessarily mean you're getting an attractive deal.

We built Trend Hijacking to approach acquisitions from the buyer's side. Our job is to help identify opportunities worth investigating, understand the business before capital is committed, negotiate the transaction, and help create value after the acquisition.

- Our Story

From e-commerce operator to acquisition specialist

Trend Hijacking was founded by Dolapo Adedayo after he entered the e-commerce industry in 2018. What began with understanding how online businesses were built and scaled evolved into a deeper focus on the acquisition side of the industry.

The opportunity wasn’t simply in building another e-commerce brand. It was in identifying businesses that already had customers, revenue, infrastructure, and market presence, then determining whether they could be acquired, improved, and scaled under better ownership.

As the acquisition work grew, so did the team. Trend Hijacking brought together specialists across acquisition, due diligence, operations, growth, marketing, research, and strategy — an acquisition-focused team built to support buyers through the parts of a transaction that require the most attention.

Today, we’ve been involved in more than 142 e-commerce acquisitions, with a collective portfolio value exceeding $40 million.

Our focus remains the same

What Happens After You Buy?

We Work From the Buyer's Side.

Trend Hijacking is not simply a marketplace displaying businesses for sale and we're not here to hand you a listing and tell you to figure out the rest.

We work through the acquisition process with you.

We work through the acquisition process with you.

Deal Sourcing

We identify established e-commerce businesses that may fit your acquisition criteria, including opportunities that aren't publicly advertised.

Due Diligence

We investigate the business beyond the headline numbers, examining financial performance, operations, customers, assets, market positioning, risks, and growth potential.

Valuation & Deal Analysis

We assess the economics of the opportunity and help you understand whether the asking price and proposed terms make sense.

Negotiation

We work with the buyer's interests in mind to negotiate the transaction and pursue terms that create a stronger foundation for the acquisition.

Acquisition Execution

We help move the transaction from agreed terms toward completed ownership, including the key elements of the transition.

Post-Acquisition Support

Depending on the engagement, we continue working with the buyer after acquisition to improve operations, establish systems, and execute the growth strategy.

What Happens After You Buy?

We Don't See Acquisition as the Finish Line.

Buying the business is one part of the equation. What happens after the acquisition can determine whether the business simply continues operating or becomes a significantly stronger asset. That's why our work can extend beyond the transaction.

We look for opportunities across:

Operations

Improve processes, systems, workflows, and efficiency across the entire business.

Marketing

Strengthen acquisition channels, campaign performance, and customer reach across markets.

Brand

Improve positioning, messaging, customer experience, and brand perception across markets.

Products

Explore product expansion, private labeling, white labeling, and stronger positioning.

Customers

Improve retention, repeat purchases, customer value, and long-term customer relationships.

Growth

Build on strengths, improve scalability, and support sustainable business expansion.

BUILT FOR SERIOUS BUYERS

Different Buyers and Different Acquisition Objectives.

We work with buyers who approach acquisitions for different reasons.

Investors

You want exposure to established e-commerce businesses without managing every operational detail yourself.

Entrepreneurs

You want to acquire an existing profitable business rather than spend years building one from zero.

Strategic Buyers

You already operate in this market or have a broader acquisition strategy for e-commerce.

Organisations

You are actively looking to acquire e-commerce businesses as part of a larger investment strategy.

OUR ACQUISITION PHILOSOPHY

Acquire Well, Improve What Matters and Build Value.

We believe the strongest acquisition strategies begin before the deal is signed. That means being selective about the businesses you consider.

Understanding the numbers before committing capital. Identifying risks before they become problems. Negotiating from an informed position.

And having a plan for value creation before you take ownership. We're not interested in putting buyers in front of as many businesses as possible.

We're interested in helping them find opportunities worth pursuing.
