Due diligence

What to Look For

Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.

Recurring Revenue and Retainer Clients

Ask for a breakdown of monthly retainer and subscription revenue versus one-time project fees.
The key question: what percentage of this year's revenue came from clients who were also paying last year?
Multi-year retainer clients who renew without being chased are worth considerably more than project revenue of the same dollar amount.
Look for contracts with defined renewal terms rather than month-to-month arrangements where clients can leave quickly.

Team Independence from the Founder

Ask who manages each major client account today and whether that person handles renewals, strategy, and deliverables on their own.
Account managers who run client relationships without the founder mean the business transfers with far less disruption than one where the founder is in every room.
Find out whether those people plan to stay after the sale, and ask what their compensation looks like relative to what you'd expect to pay them.
A useful test: ask the seller to name the last three client renewals and who drove each one.

Client Concentration

A business where one client represents 40 percent of revenue carries very different risk than one where no client exceeds 12 percent.
Ask for the full client list with revenue, tenure, and which team member manages each account.
Long tenure with a concentrated client is better than short tenure, especially when the relationship runs through the account team rather than the founder.
Spread matters more than total revenue size when evaluating stability.

Proprietary Technology or Data

Analytics firms with proprietary data, CRM companies with their own software, and sales tools with deep integrations carry value beyond billable hours.
Ask what the business owns outright and how it contributes to client retention.
Proprietary tools make clients stickier because switching requires rebuilding something they've come to rely on — that's a meaningful retention driver.
Understand who built the technology and whether that person is still with the company.

Documented Processes and Repeatable Systems

Ask to see how a typical client moves through the business from onboarding through monthly reporting.
Agencies that run the same reliable process every time are much easier to step into than those where quality depends on the founder's judgment.
Documented workflows that cover onboarding through monthly reporting let you evaluate the business quickly and give you confidence things won't fall apart when the founder steps back.
Buyers who've looked at a lot of agencies describe finding real documentation as genuinely rare.

EBITDA

Retainer-based revenue, independent account team, proprietary tools or data

The spread across this category is driven by how much revenue is recurring and retainer-based, whether the team manages client relationships without the founder, and whether the business has built proprietary technology or data that clients can't easily find elsewhere.

What drives a premium

Monthly retainer and subscription clients with documented multi-year tenure and low churn

Account managers or strategists who run client relationships independently of the founder

Revenue spread across many clients with no single account representing more than 15% of income

Proprietary technology, data, or platform partnerships that add defensibility beyond billable hours

Marketing / Growth Business Acquisition

How do I contact the owner of a business I found on Rejigg?

Create a free Rejigg account; owners, and the brokers who run some sales, only hear from buyers through the platform. Open the listing to see the full profile: city, team size, financials, what is for sale, and the reason for selling. Sign Rejigg's standard Fee & Confidentiality Agreement for that business; it is the same form for every deal. Verify your phone, then send your pitch from the listing. Replies, meetings, and documents all run through Rejigg.

Can I email Rejigg to get introduced to an owner?

No. Rejigg does not forward emails to owners or brokers, so a note to support@ or hello@ with a listing link will not reach them. Create a free account, open the listing, sign the agreement for that business, verify your phone, and send your pitch; that reaches them in a few minutes.

How does buying a business on Rejigg work?

Create a free account, set your criteria, and browse off-market businesses sourced directly by our team. When you find a match, reach out to the owner through the platform, Rejigg handles NDAs, scheduling, and document sharing so you can focus on the deal.

How much does it cost to buy a business?

Prices vary widely; most small businesses on Rejigg sell for $500K to $10M. Beyond purchase price, budget for diligence costs (attorney and accountant fees, typically $10K-$50K) and working capital reserves. Getting started on Rejigg is free.

What financing options are available?

The most common path is an SBA 7(a) loan, covering up to 90% of the purchase price with 10-year terms. Seller financing is also common, where the seller carries a note for 10-30% of the price. Our SBA loan calculator helps you estimate monthly payments.

How is Rejigg different from a broker or marketplace?

Brokers represent the owner and typically charge the owner 5–10% of the sale price. Marketplaces list whatever gets posted. Rejigg vets every listing, sources many of them directly through our own owner outreach, connects you directly with owners when they sell directly, and gives you tools to manage the process from first contact through closing.

What is due diligence and what does it involve?

Due diligence is the verification process after you and the owner agree on terms (usually in a Letter of Intent). Budget 30-60 days and $10K-$30K for professional help. A Quality of Earnings report is increasingly common for SBA-financed deals.

Can I buy a business with no money down?

Rarely. Most acquisitions require 10-20% down, whether through SBA financing, seller financing, or cash. Some creative structures can reduce the cash needed upfront, but sellers generally want to see you have skin in the game.
