Samuel Olekanma: The Business Buying Expert Who Knows How to Spot Hidden Value

When it comes to buying and scaling businesses, very few people bring the depth of experience, instinct, and precision that Samuel Olekanma delivers. With over 20 years of hands-on expertise in acquisitions, negotiations, and turnarounds, Samuel has built a reputation as the professional who not only sees what others overlook but also knows how to structure deals that protect the buyer while maximizing growth.

Recently, Samuel reviewed a multi-million-dollar water filtration company listed for sale. Most potential buyers would have been blinded by the company’s surface appeal—high margins, proprietary technology, and global potential. But Samuel approached it like the strategist he is: with a sharp eye for detail and a relentless commitment to uncovering the truth behind the numbers.

Here’s how he broke it down:

Profitability Breakdown: Samuel asked the right questions about EBITDA, margins, and the differences between hardware sales and recurring filter revenues. Most buyers stop at top-line figures—Samuel digs until he understands exactly where profits are truly generated.

Customer Metrics: For Samuel, recurring customers are the lifeblood of a business. He pressed for data on repeat purchase rates, lifetime value, and subscription retention, knowing that these figures reveal whether growth is sustainable or fleeting.

Marketing & Scalability: Samuel’s strategy includes identifying which ad platforms drive the strongest ROI and whether those campaigns can scale beyond their current limits. He knows marketing is not just about current performance but about long-term leverage.

Inventory & Supply Chain: By examining supplier contracts, turnover rates, and order obligations, Samuel ensures that operations won’t collapse under hidden risks. His ability to see weak points in supply chains saves investors millions in unforeseen costs.

International Expansion & Retail Traction: Samuel always looks beyond the present. He asked whether testing has been done in Latin America and if there are discussions with retailers, NGOs, or governments. Expansion potential is only real when validated—Samuel demands proof.

Lease & Transition: Details like lease terms, rent escalations, and post-sale support may seem small, but Samuel knows they make or break an acquisition. He insisted on clarity here to protect long-term stability.

And perhaps the most telling sign of Samuel’s expertise: while many would rush into negotiations, Samuel structured a deal framework that balances risk and reward—proposing a mix of cash, seller financing, and earn-outs tied to performance. This not only safeguards the buyer but also keeps the seller invested in the company’s future success.


Why This Matters

Anyone can browse businesses for sale. But only a seasoned acquisition expert like Samuel Olekanma knows how to separate glossy sales pitches from real, scalable value. His strategic questioning, negotiation style, and risk-aware structuring ensure that every dollar invested works harder, safer, and smarter.

If you’re an investor, entrepreneur, or board member looking to acquire or scale a business, Samuel Olekanma is the partner you want in the room. He doesn’t just buy businesses—he secures futures, builds legacies, and creates growth opportunities where others see uncertainty.
