Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Revenue Predictability
- Ask how revenue breaks down: subscription fees, renewal commissions, management fees, or transaction-based income.
- Steady annual contracts and renewal rates above 85% signal a business where cash flow is genuinely reliable.
- Transaction-based income tied to interest rates or market activity moves differently than fee-based revenue and is worth understanding separately.
- Renewal rates above 85% across the client base are one of the strongest signals of a durable finance business.
Licensing and Compliance Position
- Find out what licenses exist, whether they're held at the company or individual level, and what the transfer or re-application process looks like.
- Insurance carrier appointments, multi-state fintech licenses, and mortgage state approvals all have different transfer timelines.
- Starting this review before you go deep into diligence prevents licensing issues from becoming late-stage surprises.
Client and Customer Concentration
- In advisory and insurance businesses, aim for no single client representing more than 10 percent of revenue.
- In fintech and lending, ask how many institutions or customers the recurring revenue comes from.
- Businesses with one large client aren't automatically problems, but understanding the contract length and renewal history is worth doing early.
Team Depth Beyond the Founder
- Ask whether advisors, producers, or account managers have their own client connections and how long they've been with the business.
- A business where the team manages relationships and the owner manages the business is far more transferable than one where everything flows through a single person.
- Find out whether key people are committed to staying through a transition, and what incentive structures exist to keep them.
