Frequently asked questions — Agency acquisitions
How is an agency business valued?
Agencies typically trade at 2–5× EBITDA or 0.5–1× revenue. Key value drivers are retainer revenue share (ideally above 60%), average client tenure, and owner independence.
What are the main risks in agency acquisitions?
Client concentration (any single client over 20% of revenue is a red flag), key-person dependency, and talent retention are the primary concerns.
How do I retain agency clients after an acquisition?
Maintain the existing team through the transition, communicate transparently and early, and offer performance-continuity guarantees.
