What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Recurring Revenue Quality
- Ask for a breakdown of subscription and contract revenue versus one-time project fees.
- Cloud platforms with multi-year customer tenures, MSPs with auto-renewing contracts, and consulting firms with managed services agreements all generate income buyers can count on.
- The spread between recurring and project revenue tells you more about stability than almost any other single number.
- Project-heavy revenue is still valuable, but it's worth understanding how much of the base comes back without a sales effort.
Team Depth and Credentials
- Security clearances, vendor certifications like AWS or Microsoft, and compliance credentials like SOC 2 take years and real investment to earn.
- Ask who holds what, whether those credentials transfer with the business, and which are held by individuals who could leave.
- A team where project leads and account managers handle client work independently is the version of this business worth the most.
Customer Stickiness
- Look for customers who would face real switching costs to leave — a cloud platform embedded in daily workflows, an MSP running a company's entire infrastructure.
- Ask about tenure and what it would take for a typical customer to move to a competitor.
- Long-tenured clients with multi-year contract history describe a business where customers stay because leaving is genuinely disruptive.
Proprietary Tools or IP
- Ask what the business owns outright and how it's being monetized.
- Homegrown tools, managed services platforms, or custom integrations add a revenue stream that scales without adding headcount.
- Proprietary technology creates defensibility that pure services businesses don't have.
Client Concentration
- Ask what percentage of revenue comes from the top three clients.
- A single large government contract or one enterprise customer representing a significant share of revenue is worth examining carefully.
- Long-tenured clients with multi-year contract history and deep team involvement tell a very different story than a new large client on a month-to-month arrangement.
