Software & SaaS
Software and software as a service (SaaS) companies require an experienced team that thoroughly understands recurring revenue models and technology valuations.
Software and SaaS M&A Advisory Services From sbLiftOff
Most software companies operate with a completely different business structure than traditional service businesses. Understanding how buyers evaluate subscription predictability, technology scalability, and competitive advantages is critical when positioning your company for high-value mergers and acquisitions (M&As).
Annual recurring revenue (ARR), net revenue retention rates, customer lifetime value (LTV), churn analysis, and other key performance indicators (KPIs) drive valuation data in ways that common accounting formulas cannot calculate. Software transitions also involve due diligence around code quality, data security, and application programming interface (API) capabilities that M&A advisors sometimes overlook.
At sbLiftOff, our team will analyze your software company like a potential buyer would view your business. We evaluate your technology architecture, customer concentration risks, contract terms, and intellectual property portfolio to identify your company’s overall value.
Benefits of Our Merger and Acquisition Services
Revenue Analysis
We examine your subscription metrics and churn rates to understand your cash flow and revenue predictions. Our analysis covers customer expansion rates, long-term value ratios, and customer acquisition costs that buyers use to evaluate growth potential.
Technology Stack Evaluation
Our team looks at how your software is built and how much it costs to run. We also assess your hosting costs, third-party needs, and whether your system can handle growth without overhauls.
Customer Portfolio Assessments
We evaluate your customer base to show satisfaction and retention patterns, including implementation success rates and other metrics that support your revenue forecasts.
Competitive Positioning Strategy
We thoroughly analyze what makes your products and services different from competitors in similar markets. Our strategies include pricing structures, win rates, and other key factors to show buyers why customers choose your solutions.
Growth Analysis
Our team assesses your total addressable market (TAM) and expansion opportunities to show potential buyers how your company can scale upward.
Compliance Review
We check what you actually own versus what you license from others, which matters significantly when buyers evaluate what they will receive in the final sale. We also review your data privacy setup, security certifications, and any regulatory requirements to prevent surprises during the transition.
