Is your SaaS ready to sell?
Fourteen questions, five minutes. Your score, your deal killers and the three gaps to fix first.
Selling a SaaS company in Belgium is decided long before the first buyer meeting. Strategic acquirers and private equity funds check the same points in due diligence: revenue retention, the Rule of 40, EBITDA and gross margin, ownership of the code, open source licences, key contracts and how much the company depends on its founder. Each gap they find becomes a price cut. In 2025, 49 percent of Belgian deals closed below the initial offer, against 27 percent ten years earlier (Vlerick M&A Monitor 2026).
This SaaS exit readiness scorecard takes you through the 14 points that move a valuation most, in about five minutes. Answer for the last 12 months. You get your score out of 28, the deal killers a buyer could walk away on, and the three gaps to fix first, each with a concrete next step. It is built by dups from the sale and acquisition processes we run for Belgian entrepreneurs, and it covers the new Belgian capital gains tax on shares.
