What’s Covered?
We perform a rigorous analysis of your SaaS business purchase. We deliver a written report outlining our findings with metrics to showcase the pros and cons of the asset.
Our analysis digs deep into these categories.
Market Overview
Most SaaS brands are based around a specific niche. We’ve analyzed SaaS businesses for sale in multiple different categories and understand the ins and outs when it comes to dealing with individual categories and market nuances. We look at:
Overall market size and trends
Product placement in the market
Potential market opportunities
Product Overview
Strong unit economics and a moat against competition help build durable long-lasting SaaS businesses. We look at:
Pricing structure
Defensibility against competition
Metrics review (churn, conversions, retention)
Marketing Overview
It’s critical to understand how much and from where the business is receiving traffic. SaaS has a natural churn cycle and thus new customers must be brought in to replace leaving customers. Here is what we look at:
Analysis of traffic location, metrics, and effectiveness
Website analysis for SEO
Benchmarks against competitors
Valuation
Valuation of SaaS businesses is based on a multiple of the Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE). Determining the valuation multiple is a critical factor that depends on the niche, market trends, trends, metrics, and more. We look for:
Evaluate asking price and multiple against market trends
Expert suggestions on what business is actually worth
P&L Verification
The valuation of the business is based on a multiple of past earnings. Our team has deep expertise in catching red flags in a P&L that do not match the actual earnings. We look for:
Verifying claimed revenues via screenshots or video
Verifying the seller’s P&L numbers against revenue screenshots
Verifying revenues against industry-standard averages
