What Buyers Want in a Software Business

• Net Revenue Retention — NRR above 100% signals that existing customers expand faster than they churn — the single most important metric for software buyers.
• Gross Margin — Buyers expect 70%+ gross margins; anything lower requires a clear explanation and path to improvement.
• Sales Efficiency — A payback period under 18 months on CAC signals that the go-to-market motion is efficient and scalable.
• Product Defensibility — Deep workflow integration, proprietary data, or high switching costs make a software business far more attractive.
• ARR Quality — Annual contracts with auto-renewal provisions are valued significantly higher than month-to-month arrangements.
• Revenue Growth — Consistent ARR growth demonstrates product-market fit and a functioning sales motion.
