Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Subscription Revenue Quality
- Ask to see subscription revenue tied to actual billing records and reconciled against the financial statements.
- The number buyers care about is annual recurring revenue that renews predictably, not a headline that includes one-time setup fees or consulting work bundled in.
- Verifying that the numbers match across billing records, accounting software, and tax returns is the most important step in SaaS due diligence.
Churn Rate and Customer Tenure
- Find out how many customers have cancelled in each of the last three to five years and why.
- SaaS businesses where nearly no customers leave voluntarily prove the product is genuinely embedded in how customers work, not just something they haven't gotten around to cancelling.
- Average customer tenures of five or more years combined with low annual churn tell a compelling story about the durability of the revenue.
Team Independence
- Ask how the engineering team handles product updates and whether they ship changes without the founder reviewing every decision.
- A team that operates independently in development, support, and customer success is one of the clearest signals that the business is genuinely mature.
- If the founder is deeply embedded in technical decisions or key customer escalations, think through what role you'd be stepping into.
Technology Infrastructure Costs
- Get a breakdown of hosting, infrastructure, and third-party tool costs as a percentage of revenue, and understand how that relationship has changed over time.
- Cloud businesses where technology costs stay well below 20% of revenue as the business grows have a genuinely scalable economics picture.
- If infrastructure costs are growing faster than revenue, that's worth understanding and getting comfortable with before committing to a price.

FAQ
Cloud Software Business Acquisition
What should I look for when buying a cloud software business?
Three things deserve careful attention: whether the subscription revenue is real and reconciled against billing records, what the actual churn rate looks like by year, and how independently the engineering and support team operates. SaaS businesses with low churn, genuine subscription quality, and a self-sufficient team are among the most compelling acquisitions available. Browse cloud software businesses for sale on Rejigg to see what's available.
How much does a cloud software business cost?
Most cloud software businesses sell for 3 to 8 times annual profit. Owner-operated businesses where the founder is still deeply involved in product and customer decisions tend to trade at 3 to 5x SDE, while businesses with an independent team and strong retention can reach 5 to 8x EBITDA. Churn rate is the single biggest factor that moves a deal within that range. Use the SBA loan calculator to model different financing scenarios.
How do I evaluate a cloud software business before buying?
Start by asking for three years of financials with subscription revenue separated from one-time fees, then reconcile those numbers against the actual billing records. Get the full churn history by year, a technology cost breakdown, and a clear picture of how the team is structured. The SBA loan calculator can help you work through what different deal structures mean for your financial position.
What due diligence questions should I ask about a cloud software business?
Some good starting points: Does subscription revenue reconcile against actual billing records? How many customers have cancelled in each of the last five years, and why? What is the average customer tenure? Who handles product updates, support escalations, and customer renewals day to day? What are hosting and infrastructure costs as a percentage of revenue? Does any customer make up more than 15% of subscription revenue? Is there a documented process for onboarding new customers without the founder involved?

How does churn affect the value of a SaaS business?
Churn is one of the most important numbers in any SaaS deal. Buyers will look at it by year to understand whether the trend is improving, and they'll want to understand the reasons behind any cancellations. Annual churn above 10-15% raises real questions about whether the product is genuinely valuable to customers or whether revenue is being propped up by new sales. Low churn, on the other hand, is one of the strongest signals a SaaS business can send, and it meaningfully affects where in the multiple range a deal lands.
Does code quality matter when buying a cloud software company?
It matters, but probably less than most technical buyers think and more than most non-technical buyers assume. What you really need to understand is whether the codebase requires significant investment to maintain or extend, whether the team can ship updates without constant firefighting, and whether there are any known security issues or technical debt that would require immediate attention after close. A plain-English technical overview from the engineering team, plus a high-level architecture review, gives you most of what you need without requiring a full code audit.
