Individual Buyer in Bengaluru Looking to Buyout Agriculture and Import / Export Businesses Upto INR 10 lakh

I am looking to invest in and start a business that participates equally in export and import activities. I have 10 years of experience in operations, stakeholder management, project management & team management. I have some experience in logistics management, also. I was working for Google Maps Operations in India and other countries in the APAC region. Due to some personal reasons had to move out of the role in Jan 2020. It has been over 3 years, and I have been looking to start a business related to export/import.

1. Market & demand -
• Size of the market (TAM – Total Addressable Market).
• Growth rate (is it expanding, stagnant, or declining?).
• Customer pain points → Does the business solve a real problem?
• Is demand recurring (milk, food, software subscriptions) or one-time (wedding event) ?
2. Financials.
• Gross margins (are they 30%?).
• Break-even point & cash flow.
• CapEx vs OpEx balance (is it capital heavy or light?).
• Revenue model → recurring, subscription, or transactional.
• Debt dependency (high debt = higher risk).
3. Business model & operations.
• Scalability (can it grow without proportional cost increases?).
• Customer acquisition cost vs Lifetime value (CAC vs LTV).
• Supply chain reliability (any single-point failures?).
• Competitive advantage (unique product, distribution, IP, brand).
4. Leadership & team.
• Founder/management capability, integrity, and adaptability.
• Team quality — do they have depth beyond the founder?
• Governance — transparency in reporting, compliance with laws.
5. External factors.
• Regulatory risks (FSSAI for food, pollution control for manufacturing, SEBI for finance, etc. ).
• Technological disruption (will AI/automation wipe this out?).
• Dependency on trends vs essentials (fad vs necessity).
