What Buyers Want in an Agency
- Retainer Revenue — Monthly recurring retainers signal predictable cash flow and are the most valuable component of an agency's book of business.
- Client Concentration — No single client exceeding 20–25% of revenue is a near-universal threshold buyers apply before moving forward.
- Team Depth — Agencies that run without the founder sell for significantly more than those built around one person's relationships.
- Specialization — A defined service niche consistently commands higher multiples than broad, generalist agency models.
- Account Longevity — Average client tenure is a direct proxy for relationship quality and a leading indicator of future churn risk.
- Pipeline Visibility — A documented new business process and active pipeline demonstrate that growth is repeatable.
