What to know about online and technology business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating online and technology business acquisitions.

Verify the revenue at the source

Do not rely on a profit-and-loss screenshot. Get read access to the payment processor, the ad accounts, the bank, and analytics, and reconcile reported revenue against processor payouts for at least the trailing twelve months.

Find the single point of failure in traffic

Most online businesses depend on one channel: search, paid social, a marketplace, or an app store. Ask what share of revenue rides on it and what a ranking or policy change would do.

Separate recurring from one-time revenue

For subscription and SaaS models, gross and net revenue retention matter more than the top line. Growth on new customers while existing ones churn is worth far less than the headline.

Audit customer and supplier concentration

A handful of accounts or a single manufacturer can carry the whole business. Quantify what happens if the largest customer or supplier walks.

Map the technical and operational dependencies

Identify who owns the code, the domains, the ad pixels, and the key integrations. Founder-built systems with no documentation are a transition risk you price in, not ignore.

Pressure-test owner involvement

Many small online businesses are one person doing content, fulfillment, and support. Get specific about what the seller does each week and what it would cost to replace them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common buyer questions for this market.

Often yes when the business has clean financials and verifiable tax returns and the seller is qualified. Asset-light online businesses can be harder to collateralize, so lenders weigh cash flow and how cleanly the business transfers.
