Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Revenue Type and Renewal Structure
- Ask for revenue broken out by type: software fees, origination commissions, servicing income, and advisory work.
- Then ask for the renewal rate and average contract length on each category.
- Multi-year software contracts or recurring audit engagements that renew on a schedule without requiring a sales effort are the most valuable revenue in this space.
- The more revenue that comes back automatically, the more confident you can feel about year-one cash flow.
License and Compliance Readiness
- Ask for a license inventory with states covered, renewal dates, and any transfer requirements.
- State licenses, completed audits, and a clean regulatory history are meaningful value drivers in lending, not just paperwork.
- A dedicated compliance person on staff with current licenses and documented processes lets you work with banks and credit unions from day one without rebuilding any of that from scratch.
System Integration Depth
- Ask how the product integrates with client systems, which platforms it connects to, and what the implementation process looks like for a new bank.
- Software that connects directly to bank core systems or loan management platforms creates switching costs that protect client retention.
- When clients have to manage a painful migration to leave a vendor, they usually don't — and that's worth getting excited about.
Client Concentration
- Ask for a list of the top ten clients as a percentage of total revenue.
- No single client above 10 to 15 percent gives you much more confidence than a business where one or two banks make up half the revenue.
- Ask how long each of the top clients has been with the business and whether they're on multi-year agreements.
