Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Multi-year contract durability
- Ask for a contract summary with start dates, lengths, renewal dates, and what happens when ownership changes.
- Look at the actual renewal history, not just the seller's description of it — contracts that have renewed two or three times already show real staying power.
- Find out whether any major contracts are coming up for renewal in the next 12 months, because the timing matters for how you structure the deal.
- Contracts renewed two or three times already are among the clearest signals you'll find that a client relationship has genuine depth.
Platform integration depth
- Supply chain software embedded in a client's ordering, inventory, or warehouse workflows creates switching costs that are genuinely hard to replicate.
- Ask how deeply the platform connects to client systems and whether any implementations would take months to replicate if a client wanted to leave.
- When replacing the platform would mean retraining teams, rebuilding reports, and disrupting active operations, clients tend to stay even through rough patches.
- Integration depth is often more valuable than contract length alone — ask for specific examples of how clients use the system day to day.
Government contract access
- Ask whether the business holds any federal or state government contracts and what certifications are required to maintain them.
- Government contracts represent years of relationship-building and compliance investment that a new competitor can't shortcut.
- Find out whether any team members hold individual clearances and how those factor into the company's ability to bid on new work.
- Small business set-aside certifications don't automatically transfer to a new owner, so understanding that process early is worth the time.
Team operational independence
- Ask who manages the top five client relationships today and how long those people have been in that role.
- A company where regional managers handle clients and operations without the founder is a much easier acquisition than one where the owner is the main contact for every account.
- Find out whether key team members have any retention agreements in place and whether there's a plan for them post-sale.
- The ability to step in without disrupting ongoing client operations depends entirely on how much of the business is genuinely team-managed.
Revenue mix across service types
- Ask for a breakdown of revenue by type: consulting engagements, software subscriptions, warehouse or fulfillment operations.
- A mix across service types means the business can absorb a slowdown in one area without the whole picture changing.
- Look at what percentage of revenue is contractually committed versus project-by-project, because those two categories carry very different risk profiles.
- A natural pipeline from consulting work into longer-term software or managed services contracts is a healthy sign of how new revenue gets created.
