01 / Different economics

SaaS is not services. Hybrid is not either one.

The questions that matter depend on how your company actually earns, retains and delivers revenue.

SAAS01

Recurring revenue quality

Growth, churn, gross margin, contract durability and concentration shape the recurring-revenue story.

  • ARR composition
  • Retention signals
  • Product ownership
IT SERVICES02

Delivery without the founder

Customer relationships, team capacity, contracted work and repeatable delivery matter more than a software-style narrative.

  • Revenue visibility
  • Team autonomy
  • Client concentration
HYBRID03

Separate the two engines

A clear split between product and service economics helps prevent attractive recurring revenue from being obscured.

  • Revenue bridge
  • Shared cost base
  • Product roadmap

02 / Transferable systems

Reduce the questions behind the code.

A buyer or successor needs to understand where value lives, who holds critical knowledge and how reliably the business operates when you step away.

01

Commercial Revenue quality, pipeline, contracts and customer concentration.

02

Product & IP Ownership, architecture, roadmap and technical debt.

03

People Leadership depth, delivery capacity and key-person exposure.

04

Operations Reporting, security, data room and a repeatable cadence.

03 / Exit preparation

Turn private knowledge into buyer-ready clarity.

  1. 01

    Orient

    Establish the business model, owner goals, timing and the value-driver baseline.

  2. 02

    Strengthen

    Address concentration, reporting gaps, founder bottlenecks and unclear IP ownership.

  3. 03

    Prepare

    Build a coherent information set and make the operating story easy to verify.

  4. 04

    Match

    If useful, request an introduction to a suitable succession or M&A specialist.

04 / What you receive

A preliminary profile. No inflated promise.

The diagnostic reflects the information you provide and highlights the areas most likely to influence readiness. It is not a formal valuation, offer or transaction advice.
