Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Subscription Revenue Share
- Ask what percentage of revenue comes from subscriptions or annual contracts that renew automatically versus one-time project work.
- High recurring revenue changes the risk profile from day one and tends to support stronger financing terms.
- A business where 60 percent or more of revenue is contracted and predictable is a very different starting point than a project-driven one.
Customer Switching Costs
- In regulated industries, switching away from a compliance or traceability platform requires a full revalidation process that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and months of disruption.
- Ask how embedded the product is in each customer's actual operations, not just how long they've been a customer.
- Customers who would need months to revalidate before switching are the kind of retention story that holds through ownership changes.
Customer Tenure and Concentration
- Ask for a customer list with tenure dates, even if names are anonymized early in the process.
- Customers on the platform for five or more years without churning are a strong signal that the product genuinely delivers what it promises.
- Check whether any single customer represents more than 20 to 25 percent of revenue, and spend time understanding that relationship if they do.
Compliance Documentation
- Ask to see FDA records, validation documentation, and compliance certifications, and check that they're organized and current.
- Missing or disorganized compliance records can slow the process down and create questions that are hard to answer quickly.
- A seller with clean, well-maintained compliance files is signaling that the business has been run with real discipline.
Expansion Potential
- Some of the best businesses in this space have proven their platform in one vertical and have clear, untapped potential in adjacent ones like animal health, food safety, or medical devices.
- Ask where the product has already expanded and where it hasn't yet, which tells you a lot about the growth opportunity you'd be acquiring.
- A proven platform in one regulated market with a natural path into a second is a meaningful strategic advantage.
