Due diligence

What to Look For

Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.

Recurring Revenue Share

  • Ask what percentage of total revenue comes from ongoing service plans versus one-time implementation work.
  • High recurring share means you're starting each month with known income already in place, which makes the business far easier to manage from day one.
  • Look at how that mix has trended over the past two to three years — growing recurring revenue is a much better signal than flat or declining.

Client Concentration

  • Check how spread out the client base is across accounts.
  • When no single client represents more than 15 to 20 percent of revenue, you're in a much more comfortable position.
  • Concentration isn't a dealbreaker, but understand which relationships are managed by the team versus the founder personally.

Platform Partnerships

  • Active partnerships with Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar platforms create a steady inbound flow of client referrals without cold outreach.
  • Certifications that took years to earn and maintain are a meaningful moat that a new competitor can't replicate quickly.
  • Ask whether the partnership tier is at risk of changing and what it would take to maintain or improve it under new ownership.

Proprietary Tools

  • Some CRM businesses have built their own automation or workflow tools on top of existing platforms.
  • If the company has done this, understand what those tools do and how dependent clients are on them.
  • Client dependency on proprietary tools creates switching costs that are hard for competitors to overcome.

Team Independence

  • Ask who manages the top three clients and how long that person has been doing it.
  • When senior staff handle onboarding, support calls, and renewals without founder involvement, you're buying a business that transfers well.
  • Ask how many client calls the founder personally leads in a typical month.
