Due diligence

What to Look For

Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.

Revenue Retention Rates

This is where a lot of buyers get excited, and for good reason. Ask for net revenue retention (NRR) over the last three years. A software company where existing customers spend 100%+ of what they spent the prior year has real compounding power. If retention is lower, it's worth understanding why and whether the trend is improving. The actual cohort data will tell you more than any summary ever could.

Code Ownership and Tech Debt

You'll want to confirm the company owns all its intellectual property outright, with no client claims or contractor disputes. It's also worth having a direct conversation with the CTO or lead engineer about the state of the codebase, how old the tech stack is, and whether there's deferred maintenance that would need investment in year one. None of this is necessarily a dealbreaker, but it helps you plan.

Customer Concentration

Ask what percentage of annual recurring revenue comes from the top three customers. If one customer represents more than 20% of revenue, that's something to get comfortable with during diligence. Understanding the relationship, contract terms, and renewal history will help you assess how stable that revenue really is. The most reassuring pattern is dozens or hundreds of customers, none above 10%.

Team Independence from Founder

Find out whether the founder still writes code, manages key accounts, or handles support escalations. If the answer is yes to any of those, it means the transition plan becomes a bigger part of the deal. Look for an engineering lead and a customer success function that operate without daily founder involvement. That's the setup where you can step in as an owner and focus on growth instead of keeping the lights on.

Valuation

What Should You Expect to Pay?

3-5x

SDE

Owner-operated, under $1M ARR

5-10x

EBITDA

With management team and strong retention

Software multiples vary widely because recurring revenue quality matters more than top-line size. A $500K ARR business with 95% retention and low churn can command a higher multiple than a $2M business losing 20% of customers annually. The retention numbers tend to be the first thing sophisticated buyers look at.

What drives a premium

Net revenue retention above 100%, meaning existing customers spend more each year

Engineering team that ships product updates without founder involvement in code review

Customer base spread across 50+ accounts with no single customer above 10% of revenue

Proprietary technology or IP with clear ownership documentation and no contractor disputes

FAQ

Software Business Acquisition

What should I look for when buying a software business?

The big three are revenue retention, customer concentration, and founder dependency. A software business with 90%+ net revenue retention, no customer above 15% of revenue, and a dev team that ships independently is a strong acquisition candidate. Ask for three years of MRR data broken out by new, expansion, contraction, and churn. Browse software businesses for sale on Rejigg to see what's available.

How much does a software business cost?

Most software businesses sell for 3 to 10 times annual profit. Owner-operated SaaS companies under $1M ARR typically trade at 3 to 5x SDE. Larger businesses with a management team and strong retention can reach 5 to 10x EBITDA. Revenue quality matters more than revenue size. Use the SBA loan calculator to model what different deal sizes look like for your monthly payments.

How do I evaluate a software business before buying?

Start with three years of monthly recurring revenue data and break it into cohorts: new revenue, expansion, contraction, and churn. Then look at the tech stack age, code ownership documentation, and talk to the engineering lead about tech debt. Review customer contracts for auto-renewal terms and cancellation clauses. Running the numbers through a few different valuation approaches will help you benchmark the asking price against the financials.

What due diligence questions should I ask about a software business?

Good questions to start with: What is the net revenue retention rate over the last three years? What percentage of revenue comes from the top three customers? Does the founder still write code or manage accounts? Who owns the intellectual property, and are there any contractor or client IP claims? What's the tech stack and when was it last meaningfully updated? What are the hosting costs and how do they scale? Are customer contracts annual or month-to-month?

Where can I find software businesses for sale?

Rejigg lists software businesses that have been individually sourced and vetted. You can browse software businesses for sale on Rejigg and connect directly with founders. No broker taking a percentage. Listings include financials and ownership details so you can filter for what matches your criteria.

How does customer churn affect a software business valuation?

Churn is one of the biggest factors in software valuations. A business losing 15%+ of customers annually needs to replace that revenue every year just to stay flat, and buyers tend to factor that into their offers. Companies with annual gross churn under 5% consistently sell at premium multiples because each year's revenue stacks on top of the last. Ask for monthly churn data, not just annual averages, so you can spot trends.

Should I worry about tech debt when buying a software company?

It's worth understanding, but some tech debt is normal and manageable. What you really want to get a feel for is whether the codebase can support new features and stay secure without a major rewrite. Ask the engineering lead to walk you through the architecture, identify any components past end-of-life, and estimate what a modernization effort would cost. Budgeting 10-20% of annual revenue in year-one engineering investment is a reasonable baseline for older codebases.
