Often the lure of increasing sales will lead to product price reductions, discounts, free product give always, slotting fees which have the effect of raising Cost of Goods Sold as a percentage of sales which puts immense pressure on the operating margins of the business.

Determining how much sales will have to increase in order to afford the debt load and equity return expectations and determining if product pricing can be maintained to achieve those sales will make the "risk of the deal" much clearer.
