Frequently asked questions — SaaS acquisitions
How is a SaaS business valued?
SaaS companies typically trade at 3–6× ARR for sub-$500K ARR businesses and 5–12× ARR for larger ones. Key multiples drivers are monthly churn below 2%, net revenue retention above 100%, and diversified customer acquisition.
What due diligence is critical when buying a SaaS business?
Focus on MRR cohort analysis, churn rate trends, customer concentration (no single customer should exceed 15% of MRR), infrastructure costs, code quality, and key-person dependency.
Is buying a SaaS business better than building from scratch?
Acquiring an established SaaS shortens time-to-revenue by years and provides proven product-market fit. The main trade-off is paying a premium — make retention data and code quality the centrepiece of your due diligence.
