Then you are likely facing the following challenges:
Valuations for software companies can be subject to strong fluctuations.
There are numerous metrics that can be used to determine the exact value of a software company (e.g., ARR, MRR, NRR, Rule of 40, (Cash-)EBITDA, etc.).
To achieve the best possible sales outcome, a well-structured sales process with intense bidding competition is required.
What key-person risk exists in the current personnel structure, and how can this risk be proactively mitigated for the buyer?
In software company sales, strategic buyers primarily focus on the compatibility and complementarity of the acquired software solutions.
Personally, financially, and operationally, you want to secure value and create freedom – selling a company supports these goals.

The collaboration with Peter and his team was highly professional and led to a successful business sale. Peter impressed with his expertise, commitment, and appreciative communication, which made the entire process much smoother. The sale was completed stress-free and within a short time. I highly recommend him without reservation.
Before working with Venture Advisory Partners, I was unsure whether consulting for a business sale would be worth it. Today, I know that without this investment, the sale would never have been so successful. Mr. Nadolinski and Mr. Balsys exceeded my expectations. Within just eight months, a stress-free sale took place, allowing me to choose the ideal buyer from multiple interested parties.
With great dedication, we built our premium brand in the cat food and cat furniture sector. Thanks to VAP’s support, we received numerous buyer inquiries and found the ideal buyer to carry our vision forward. The sale was professionally managed, resulting in a win-win situation for all parties involved. Without VAP, we would not have achieved this fantastic outcome.
Working with Peter Nadolinski as an external CFO was a real asset. He provided full transparency on our financial situation and identified key levers for increasing profitability. The financial plan he developed gave us, for the first time, a strategic management tool. Peter's expertise and clear communication delivered real added value – highly recommended!
To plan my succession, I was looking for a buyer who would continue my life's work and be a good personal fit. Mr. Nadolinski and his team impressed me with their professionalism and extensive expertise. The sales process was nearly stress-free and successfully completed within nine months. I found the ideal buyer and sold at an attractive price.
Thanks to Peter and his team, we were able to successfully close our seed financing round with suitable investors. Venture Advisory Partners provided us with competent support, helped us structure our case and produced valuable intros. Their expertise was decisive for the entire process. I highly recommend working with every e-commerce founder.
Before starting a sales process, we get to know you and your company and assess your individual situation together. If selling your company is a viable option for both sides, we provide a detailed initial valuation free of charge, based on best market standards, and generate the first buyer candidates. Based on this, you can decide whether to mandate VAP.Once you choose to work with VAP, the sales process is structured into five phases: the preparation phase, market approach, due diligence, negotiation phase, and closing phase. You should plan for a total process duration of 6–8 months.
Key factors include recurring revenue (ARR/MRR), customer growth, technology IP, and scalability.
Buyers for software companies include various strategic investors with complementary product portfolios as well as financial investors who pursue roll-up strategies in the software sector.
Software companies should have a minimum revenue of approximately €500,000 to be considered an acquisition opportunity for buyers. From around €1.5 million in recurring revenue (ARR), generated profitably, strategic investors also become more actively interested.An important factor to consider is the complementarity of the software solutions.
