Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Recurring Revenue and Loyal Advertisers
- Ask for a revenue breakdown by source: monthly retainers, annual sponsorships, subscriber income, licensing deals, and one-time project fees.
- The clearest signal of stability is what percentage of this year's income comes from people who paid last year too.
- Publishing businesses with advertisers who renew without prompting are fundamentally different from those that depend on landing new sponsors every cycle.
- Long-tenured sponsors with documented renewal history are worth naming and understanding individually.
Audience Ownership and Reach
- There's a real difference between an audience you own and one you rent from a platform.
- A large email subscriber list with strong open rates or a paid subscription base are things the new owner can monetize immediately — unlike a social following you don't control.
- An audience that lives primarily on social platforms is more fragile because algorithmic changes can cut reach overnight.
- Ask for audience metrics across every channel and understand which ones the business actually controls.
Team Depth and Creative Independence
- Producers, editors, or account directors who handle client relationships without the founder are what make a media business genuinely transferable.
- Ask who would manage the top three client or sponsor relationships if the founder stepped away tomorrow.
- In video production and audio studios, the question is whether senior talent handles sessions, revisions, and deliveries on their own.
- High team tenure is especially meaningful in creative businesses where relationships and institutional knowledge are hard to rebuild.
Owned IP and Content Libraries
- Music and audio catalogs, licensed content libraries, proprietary platforms, and archived editorial content with ongoing search value all generate income beyond current engagement.
- Ask what the business owns outright, what it has licensed to others, and what ongoing revenue those assets generate.
- Owned IP that keeps generating income without new work is one of the most compelling things you can find in this category.
- Understand who holds the rights and how they're documented.
Client and Advertiser Concentration
- A single dominant advertiser or one platform driving most of the traffic is something to get into early.
- Ask for the full advertiser or client list with tenure and revenue concentration.
- Long-tenured advertisers with documented renewal history are a much more comfortable position than large accounts with short histories.
- Publications where no single advertiser exceeds 15 percent of revenue are meaningfully more resilient.
