What buyers look at in a service business
Recurring and contracted revenue
The strongest single driver. Revenue under contract, on a schedule, or under a maintenance agreement is worth a multiple of the same revenue sold ad hoc.
Owner dependence
If customers buy because of you, the buyer is not buying a business. Reducing this is the highest-return work available before a sale.
Customer retention and length
Churn and average tenure tell a buyer what they are really acquiring. Have the numbers ready before they ask.
