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.

FAQ

Marketing / Growth Business Acquisition

What should I look for when buying a marketing and growth business?

Start with the revenue structure. Agencies and platforms where most income comes from retainer clients who renew month after month are fundamentally more stable than project-heavy businesses. Then look at who actually manages the client relationships. When an experienced account team handles renewals, strategy, and day-to-day work without the founder, buyers can see a real transition. Client concentration, documented workflows, and any proprietary technology round out the evaluation. Browse marketing and growth businesses for sale on Rejigg to see what's available.

How much does a marketing and growth business cost?

Most marketing and growth businesses sell for 3 to 10 times annual profit. Businesses with strong retainer revenue, experienced independent account teams, and proprietary tools or data command the higher end of that range. Project-heavy agencies or those where the founder handles all key client relationships typically come in lower. Use the SBA loan calculator to model how SBA financing might look at different deal sizes.

How do I evaluate a marketing and growth business before buying?

Ask for three years of financials with retainer and subscription revenue clearly separated from project fees. Get a client list with tenure, monthly spend, and which team member manages each account. Ask to see the process for how a new client gets onboarded and how a typical project moves through the business. If the business has proprietary technology, ask for a product overview and understand how it contributes to client retention. Then talk to the account team about how they manage their clients day to day.

What due diligence questions should I ask about a marketing and growth business?

Ask: What percentage of revenue is retainer or subscription versus project-based? What is the client churn rate over the last three years? Who manages each major client relationship, and do those people plan to stay? Is there any proprietary technology, and who owns it? What does it cost to deliver the services (team, tools, contractors)? Are there any clients where the founder is the sole relationship holder? And how are new clients acquired?

Where can I find marketing and growth businesses for sale?

Rejigg connects buyers directly with marketing and growth business owners. You can browse marketing and growth businesses for sale on Rejigg, message owners directly, and access client and financial documentation in one place without going through a broker.

How does client concentration affect the value of a marketing or agency business?

Client concentration is one of the most common valuation adjustments in marketing acquisitions. A business where one client represents 35% of revenue and a second represents another 25% carries real risk, and buyers factor that into their offers. Long tenure with those clients helps a lot, especially when the account manager (rather than the founder) manages the relationship day to day. If you're evaluating a business with concentration, ask for the full history of that client relationship and get comfortable with the renewal pattern before you build your offer.

Can I get SBA financing to buy a marketing or growth business?

Yes. Marketing and growth businesses with documented recurring revenue and reasonable customer concentration generally qualify for SBA 7(a) financing. Lenders appreciate the low capital intensity of these businesses and focus primarily on cash flow consistency and owner-dependence risk.
