Unique Factors in Selling an IT Business

Intellectual Property (IP) and Technology Assets

IT businesses often possess valuable intellectual property such as software, algorithms, patents, or proprietary technologies. These assets play a significant role in the valuation of the business. Potential buyers will closely scrutinise the business’s IP portfolio, as well as its technology stack, ensuring they align with future industry trends and have growth potential.

Client Contracts and Retention

Many IT companies operate on long-term service contracts or subscription models. The value of these client contracts and the potential for retaining them under new ownership can significantly impact the attractiveness of the sale. A well-defined client retention strategy and a smooth transfer of contracts are essential for maximising the value of your business.

Regulatory Compliance and Data Security

In the IT sector, particularly for companies dealing with sensitive data or operating in regulated industries, compliance with data protection regulations (such as GDPR) and cybersecurity standards is critical. Buyers will assess your business’s regulatory compliance record and its capacity to manage data security effectively. Any gaps can lower the business’s value or complicate the sale.

“ After working with Dexterity Partners their "Fit to Sell" process highlighted the opportunity to grow my business via a merger with a similar business. They helped me find funding to enable me to gain the benefits of a sale whilst keeping control. Chris

“ Our business was severely impacted by COVID and a sale looked like the only option. The "Fit to Sell" review resulted in a new strategy to be designed and refinanced. The "Fit for the Future" review highlighted a greater value if we focused on additional sales growth until a more favourable market environment exists to sell the business. It was pleasing to note that Dexterity Partners were not pushing a sale only but provided us with strategic options. David
