Sell Your SaaS Business

Most brokers can't tell Rails from React. We've built and scaled software — so we know how to position yours to buyers who pay premium multiples.

SaaS Multiples (2024-2025)
Micro-SaaS (<$500K ARR)2.5–4x ARR
SMB SaaS ($500K–$2M ARR)3–5x ARR
Mid-market ($2M–$10M ARR)4–7x ARR
Growth SaaS ($10M+ ARR)5–10x+ ARR

Multiples vary based on growth rate, churn, and net revenue retention

Our Edge

We speak ARR, churn, and codebase

Most M&A advisors treat SaaS like any other business. We've built software, scaled infrastructure, and know what technical debt actually costs. That means:

  • We can assess your architecture before buyers do
  • We help you fix issues that kill deals
  • We position technical strengths buyers actually care about
  • We speak directly to technical buyers and PE ops teams
// What we look for in technical DD
Clean architecture & separation of concerns
Test coverage & CI/CD pipeline
Infrastructure scalability
Security posture & compliance
Documentation & knowledge transfer
Technical debt assessment
Single points of failure
Dependency risks
Key person risk in engineering

What drives SaaS valuations

ARR is just the starting point. Here's what actually moves multiples.

NRR
Net Revenue Retention

>100% NRR means you grow without new customers. 120%+ NRR can add 1-2x to your multiple.

<5%
Monthly Churn

High churn kills deals. Under 3% monthly (36% annual) is good. Under 2% is great.

3:1
LTV:CAC Ratio

Shows unit economics work. Below 3:1 means you're spending too much to acquire customers.

20%+
YoY Growth

Growth rate is the #1 multiple driver. 50%+ growth can 2x your valuation.

How we sell your SaaS

1

Technical Assessment

We review your codebase, infrastructure, and metrics. We find issues before buyers do — and help you fix them.

2

Valuation & Positioning

We build your story around the metrics that matter — NRR, churn, growth, and technical moat.

3

Targeted Outreach

We reach strategic acquirers, PE-backed platforms, and technical buyers — not tire kickers.

4

Close the Deal

We manage technical DD, negotiate terms, and get you to close with the best structure.

Issues that kill SaaS deals

We've seen these tank valuations or blow up deals entirely. We help you identify and fix them before going to market.

Founder as the only engineer

Key person risk is a dealbreaker. We help you document and transition.

Undocumented technical debt

Buyers discount heavily for unknowns. We help you quantify and explain it.

Platform dependency

Built entirely on Shopify/Stripe/AWS? We help you show resilience.

Messy metrics

Can't explain MRR vs ARR vs bookings? We help you get clean.
