Buying SaaS Businesses For Sale
SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) businesses offer recurring revenue, scalable operations, and low overhead—making them one of the most attractive online business models for buyers and investors.
When you buy a SaaS business, you’re acquiring more than just a product—you’re getting paying customers, established retention, and a software platform that’s already built. This means no coding from scratch or testing business models from the ground up.
Our SaaS listings often include connected Google Analytics, integrated metrics tools, or seller-provided recast financials—giving you a clearer picture of the business’s performance and growth potential.

Why Buyers Love Acquire
Why buyers love us
Acquire was instrumental in selling my SaaS business. I went out on my own at first to try to get offers without a broker, and I received 1 LOI. When I posted the business on Acquire, I got 6 LOIs, and I accepted an offer over asking. Selling a business is not easy, but if you are running a profitable, small SaaS business, there is no better place to sell it than Acquire. I had never sold a business before, and Emiley, one of their advisors, met with me at least 5 or 6 times through the process to advise me and support me to sell the business. They do a great job of getting the right eyeballs on your listing, crafting a process to build FOMO and drive up offers/offer price, and help you land the ship with a successful sale.

My favorite site to find tools and software companies is Acquire.com. It's the best. I like the combination of quality and responsiveness from founders. You've done a really good job curating listings.
— Tara Reed, CEO of Apps Without Code
At Ramp Ventures, we acquire 1-2 SaaS companies a year which usually requires looking at hundreds of deals. With Acquire.com identifying high potential SaaS companies has never been easier. I also love the transparency and how easy it is to connect with sellers.
— Sujan Patel, Managing Director of Ramp Ventures
I've used a few other sites in the past to buy startups and Acquire.com was by far the best experience I've had. From initial reach out, to deal terms, I was able to acquire a startup in my target range within a day. I highly recommend Acquire.com to anyone interested in purchasing SaaS companies.
— Gareth Cuddy, Owner of iRevise
Acquire.com was a great experience. Ky Pratt was truly amazing to work with. They aren't just selling a service, they are good people and care about your outcome. I would highly recommend them because they have a simple toolset and process to follow that makes each step easily executable. They invested hours of time and countless resources to help us, and we had a great experience that I don't think we would have had anywhere else. If you are accepted on their platform, I would absolutely follow their process and take advantage of all the help they provide.

FAQs
- How much does a SaaS company sell for?
SaaS companies typically sell for a multiple of their revenue or profit. To determine the multiple, you must take account of the company’s financial performance, intellectual property, years of operation, customer demographics and concentration, competitive landscape, market conditions, and more. If SaaS startups are selling for 3x revenue on average, you would adjust that multiple up or down based on these factors.
- Is SaaS a good investment?
SaaS companies are a good investment because of their low overheads and subscription-based business models. Being online businesses, they don’t need to buy and store stock or operate retail outlets to sell their products. SaaS businesses charge recurring fees for access to software, which makes financial performance easier to predict and manage. Equally, since SaaS businesses share similar business models, it’s much easier to spot the strong opportunities from the weaker ones, minimizing risk.
- Is SaaS still profitable?
Generally, SaaS is very profitable. If you’re technically-minded, you can start a SaaS business with little to no investment. Your overheads are equally low. If you were capable of building the SaaS product yourself, your only costs are a domain and hosting provider. As your SaaS business grows, your overheads don’t increase at the same rate or by as much. Having a predictable revenue stream means you can hire people only when you need to and invest profits into marketing and customer support.
- How much does a SaaS business cost?
A SaaS business can cost from a few thousand to millions of dollars. Many factors influence the cost of a SaaS business, including its financial performance, customer numbers, intellectual property, brand, and more. SaaS companies that dominate their market, like Figma, which was recently acquired by Adobe for $50M, sell in multimillion-dollar transactions, while early-stage SaaS startups that have yet to find product-market fit may sell only for a few thousand. Every SaaS business is different and so is their cost.
- What is the rule of 40 in SaaS?
The rule of 40 in SaaS is a quick calculation to determine the financial health of a SaaS company. You add the growth rate and profit margin together, and if it’s above 40%, the SaaS business is healthy. Anything below that 40% benchmark would be considered unhealthy, or at least, a less attractive acquisition opportunity. While the rule of 40 is a handy indicator of a SaaS business’s financial performance, it’s far too rudimentary for making business, valuation, or acquisition decisions.
