Automated Micro-SaaS Acquisition Due Diligence Toolkit
Acquiring micro-SaaS products ($1-50K MRR) has become a popular strategy, but buyers lack due diligence tools designed for small acquisitions. A toolkit that verifies Stripe revenue, analyzes code quality, checks customer concentration, and scores acquisition risk would protect buyers from overpaying or acquiring problematic products.
Problem Statement
A buyer finds a SaaS product on Acquire.com listed at $200K for $8K MRR. They need to verify revenue is real (not refunded or disputed), check if 80% of revenue comes from one customer, assess whether the codebase is maintainable, review churn trends, and evaluate growth potential. Professional due diligence would cost $10K+ — 5% of the purchase price. Most buyers skip it, relying on Stripe screenshots that can be faked. The result: horror stories of inflated revenue, customer concentration risk, and unmaintainable codebases.
The Idea
A due diligence toolkit for micro-SaaS acquisitions that automates revenue verification, code quality assessment, customer concentration analysis, and risk scoring to help buyers make informed purchase decisions.
Why Now
The micro-SaaS acquisition market has grown rapidly through platforms like Acquire.com, MicroAcquire, and Flippa. Deal volumes at the $1-50K MRR level have tripled since 2023. But professional M&A due diligence costs $5-20K, which is disproportionate for a $50K-500K acquisition. Buyers either skip due diligence (risky) or overspend on lawyers and accountants (kills ROI). No tool exists for lightweight, automated due diligence at the micro-SaaS scale.
