What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
True Recurring Revenue
- Ask the seller to separate subscription revenue from one-time setup fees, consulting work, or professional services.
- Subscription revenue that renews automatically every month or year is worth fundamentally more than project-based work because it shows up without anyone selling it.
- If the business has a mix of both, understanding the split clearly is important before you put any weight on the headline profit number.
Customer Retention History
- Find out how many customers the business has lost in the last three to five years and why.
- Cloud businesses with near-zero involuntary churn, where the only losses come from customers whose own businesses closed, tell you something real about how embedded the product is.
- Long tenures of 10 or 15 years on average are genuinely exciting numbers and one of the most powerful things a cloud services business can show a buyer.
Hosting Costs vs. Revenue
- Ask for a breakdown of technology and hosting costs as a percentage of revenue, and how that relationship has changed as the business grew.
- Cloud businesses where hosting costs stay manageable relative to revenue are much more scalable than ones where every new customer adds roughly the same infrastructure cost.
- This is a quick way to understand whether the business model actually improves with scale or just gets harder.
Compliance Certifications
- For cloud businesses serving regulated industries, certifications like SOC 2, HIPAA, or FedRAMP are real assets — find out which are in place and when they were last renewed.
- Some are tied to the company entity and transfer cleanly; others are tied to a specific facility or person, which affects your transition planning.
- Having these already in place removes a significant barrier that new competitors face and is worth understanding the renewal requirements on.
