Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Subscription Revenue Share
- Ask for a breakdown of subscription versus one-time revenue, and look at what percentage of customers renewed last year.
- The most valuable retail tech businesses generate most of their income from monthly or annual fees that renew automatically.
- A high renewal rate tells you something real about how much stores depend on the product day-to-day.
Deep Store Integrations
- Look for products with documented integrations to common retail platforms, and ask how disruptive it would be for a customer to switch.
- Software connected to a retailer's checkout, inventory, or ordering systems creates switching costs that protect the customer base long after the initial sale.
- When a store would have to retrain staff and rebuild workflows to leave, most of them don't.
Founder Independence
- Ask who would be accountable for each key function after the founder steps back.
- A retail tech company where the founder handles all customer escalations, product decisions, and sales conversations is a harder transition.
- The businesses that attract the strongest offers have tech teams that ship without oversight and support staff that handle renewals on their own.
Expansion Within the Customer Base
- Look at whether revenue per customer is trending up over time and ask what percentage of growth has come from existing accounts versus new ones.
- Existing customers adding new locations, users, or features is a signal that the product is genuinely useful and the business can grow without constantly chasing new logos.
Customer Mix and Concentration
- Ask for a breakdown of revenue by customer and look at how long the top accounts have been in place.
- A healthy retail tech customer base doesn't have one or two accounts making up the majority of revenue.
- Many small-to-mid accounts with long tenures is a much more comfortable position than a few large ones that could leave.

FAQ
Retail Technology Business Acquisition
What should I look for when buying a retail technology business?
The most important thing is understanding how sticky the product is. Look at what percentage of revenue comes from subscriptions that renew automatically, how deeply the software connects to the systems stores already use, and whether customers are adding more over time rather than churning out. A business where stores depend on the software daily is much more defensible than one that's easy to replace. You can browse retail technology businesses for sale on Rejigg to see what's available right now.
How much does a retail technology business cost?
Most retail technology businesses sell for 3 to 10 times annual profit, with the exact price depending on how much revenue is recurring, how loyal customers are, and how independently the team operates. A business generating $500,000 in annual profit might sell for $2 to $5 million depending on those factors. If you're financing part of the purchase, the SBA loan calculator can help you understand what monthly payments would look like at different price points.
How do I evaluate a retail technology business before buying?
Start by asking for a revenue breakdown that separates subscription income from one-time fees. Then look at customer churn rates over the past two to three years and ask for a list of integrations showing what systems the software connects to. Request three years of financials and a customer list with tenure data. Pay attention to whether the team handles renewals and support without founder involvement, because that determines how smooth the transition will be.
What due diligence questions should I ask about a retail technology business?
Ask what percentage of revenue renews automatically each year and whether there have been any significant customer losses in the last 24 months. Find out what retail systems the software integrates with and how those integrations are maintained. Ask who owns the code, what the infrastructure costs look like, whether any clients hold special pricing or contractual terms, and what it would take to onboard a new customer without the founder's help.

What do subscription renewal rates tell you about a retail tech acquisition?
Renewal rates are one of the clearest signals of product quality and customer dependency. A business with 90%+ annual renewal rates is telling you that stores find the product genuinely useful and don't want to switch. Rates below 80% should prompt deeper questions about product-market fit, support quality, and whether pricing is creating friction. Ask for the renewal data by cohort year if you can, because trends matter as much as the current number.
How do store integrations affect the risk profile of a retail tech acquisition?
Deep integrations lower buyer risk because they create switching costs that protect the customer base. When a retailer's checkout, inventory, and ordering systems all touch your software, they're unlikely to replace it on short notice. During due diligence, ask for a list of current integrations, whether any are at risk of deprecation, and how new retail platforms are typically onboarded. Integration depth is often more predictive of long-term retention than any other factor.
