Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Retainer Revenue Share
- Ask what percentage of revenue comes from monthly retainer contracts versus one-time project work.
- High retainer share means you're starting each month with known income, not scrambling for new project work.
- Ask what the average client has been on retainer for and what the renewal pattern looks like over the past two to three years.
Client Concentration
- Look at how revenue is distributed across clients.
- When no single account represents more than 20 to 25 percent of total revenue, you have a more resilient business.
- Concentration isn't automatically disqualifying, especially when the relationship is long-standing, but it's something to factor into your offer.
Industry Specialization
- Agencies with a real specialty in a specific industry often command better margins because clients aren't comparing them to the next lowest bidder.
- Documented results and a track record in a single vertical are worth getting excited about.
- That depth of expertise is hard for a generalist competitor to replicate, even with a lower price.
Team Ownership of Accounts
- Find out who is in the room for each major client check-in.
- When senior account managers and strategists run those meetings without the founder, you're buying relationships that will survive the transition.
- When the founder handles all senior client conversations personally, factor in a longer earnout period and a more structured handoff plan.
Documented Delivery Process
- Ask how a new project moves from kickoff to final delivery.
- Agencies with a consistent, written process for each service line are easier to run and easier to scale.
- The absence of documented workflows isn't necessarily a dealbreaker, but it does mean time spent early capturing what's currently in the founder's head.
