FAQ
- How should ladieswear inventory be valued at closing?Analyse stock by season, size, style, age and recent selling price. Discount broken size runs, returned items, private-label remnants and past-season fashion rather than valuing everything at recorded wholesale cost.
- Will important fashion brands continue supplying the store?Review account ownership, minimum orders, payment terms, territory protection, returns and change-of-control clauses. Obtain written approval where a key label materially drives traffic or differentiates the assortment locally.
- What do returns and markdowns reveal about profitability?Measure returns, exchanges, discounts and clearance losses by brand and channel. Recalculate gross margin after markdowns, damaged stock, loyalty rewards and shipping so full-price margin does not overstate earnings.
- Do clothing labels meet Canadian textile requirements?Sample imported, private-label and altered garments for fibre disclosure and dealer identification. Confirm the business has records supporting label accuracy and a process for correcting non-compliant stock before sale.
- How dependent are sales on the current owner's buying taste?Compare category performance, repeat customers and staff-assisted sales during the owner's absences. Check whether documented buying plans and sell-through reports can reliably reproduce the assortment without personal intuition.
- Does the online channel strengthen or weaken the store?Compare contribution after photography, advertising, fulfilment, returns and shipping by channel. Verify inventory synchronisation prevents overselling and that online customer records and creative assets transfer with the business.
