Buying a SaaS — FAQ

Where can I buy a SaaS business?

Startup Index lists SaaS businesses for sale from indie founders, with revenue verified through Stripe or Paddle via TrustMRR. You browse the catalog, compare ROI and payback across listings, and contact sellers directly — no broker in the middle.

What's a fair price for a small SaaS?

Micro-SaaS with $1k–$10k MRR typically trades at 2–4x annual revenue. Higher multiples apply when churn is under 3% monthly, growth is positive, and the business is fully transferable without the founder.

How is SaaS MRR verified on Startup Index?

Sellers connect their live Stripe, Paddle, or RevenueCat account through TrustMRR. The MRR shown on each listing comes straight from the payment processor, not a screenshot or spreadsheet.

What ROI should I target when buying a micro-SaaS?

Indie acquirers usually target 25–40% annual ROI, which maps to a 2.5–4-year payback. Lower ROI can still make sense if you expect to grow the business quickly after acquisition.

What's the difference between MRR and net MRR?

MRR is total monthly recurring revenue from paying subscribers. Net MRR (shown as monthly net profit on listings) is MRR times the seller's margin — the profit that actually reaches your bank account after hosting, tooling, and payment fees.

Can I buy a SaaS on Startup Index if I'm not a developer?

Yes, but factor in the cost of a technical partner or a maintenance contractor when calculating true ROI. Prefer listings on mainstream stacks (Next.js, Rails, Django) with documented deployment so a freelance dev can keep them running.

What budget do I need to buy a profitable SaaS?

Entry-level micro-SaaS on Startup Index starts around $5k–$25k for businesses doing a few hundred dollars in MRR. The $50k–$250k band is the sweet spot for solo operators — $2k–$8k MRR, established churn, and a clear playbook. Six-figure deals typically need SBA financing or partner capital.

Can I finance a SaaS acquisition?

US buyers can use SBA 7(a) loans for SaaS acquisitions between $100k and $5M with 10% down. Seller financing (25–50% of price paid over 12–36 months) is also common on Startup Index deals — ask the seller directly on the contact thread.

What are the biggest risks when buying a small SaaS?

Concentration risk (one customer > 20% of revenue), platform risk (built on top of one API that could revoke access), churn masked by seasonal payments, and undocumented tech debt. The listing page shows verified revenue — the rest comes out in diligence, so ask hard questions before wiring funds.

Do I need to be a developer to buy a SaaS?

Not always. No-code SaaS built on Bubble, Webflow, or Softr can be run without engineering. Code-based SaaS is easier to operate with a technical co-founder or a part-time contractor. Filter listings by tech stack and match the deal to what you can actually maintain.

How do I do due diligence on a SaaS I want to buy?

Cover four areas: financials (P&L, Stripe/Paddle export, cohort retention), customers (concentration, churn reasons, NPS), tech (repo access, hosting bill, security posture), and legal (contracts, IP assignment, trademarks). Two weeks is standard for sub-$100k deals; larger deals justify a longer diligence window.

How do funds actually move when I buy a SaaS?

Both sides sign an Asset Purchase Agreement (APA), you wire the purchase price to a neutral escrow service like Escrow.com, the seller transfers assets (code, domain, Stripe account, customer data), you confirm receipt, and escrow releases the funds. The whole transfer typically takes 3–7 days once escrow is funded.
