Why Choose a SaaS Business Broker?

When you sell any business, it’s important to work with an experienced broker who understands your industry. This is particularly true for internet businesses and the SaaS industry. Only a broker with the relevant expertise can understand the unique dynamics of SaaS businesses.

Metrics such as recurring revenue and churn rate are crucial for demonstrating the viability and sustainability of your business. Prospective buyers will also consider the scalability of the service, something an experienced broker can highlight during the sales process.

*Note: Earned Exits’ process will add great value to your valuation, including with one key step called “Add-Backs”. It is most common for business owners to include personal expenses on their Income Statement. Vehicles, board meetings, and family on the payroll are fair and legal ways for tax deductions and/or are personal benefits for you that are truly additions to your company profitability. Our Add-back process uses your net profit and adds back those personal expenses running through the business to increase your profitability. This is called Sellers Discretionary Earnings (SDE).
