Technology & Digital Businesses
SaaS valuation, IP loss quantification, and M&A dispute accounting for technology businesses.
Technology and digital businesses present distinct forensic accounting challenges. Recurring revenue models, software capitalisation policies, and rapid growth trajectories require specialist understanding that generic commercial dispute practitioners may lack.
Sterling Forensic applies ARR and churn analysis, DCF and revenue multiple methodologies to technology loss claims. We address SaaS contract disputes, IP misappropriation loss quantification, M&A warranty claims involving ARR misrepresentation, and software contract breach losses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are technology company losses calculated in breach of contract cases?
Technology business losses typically require ARR and churn analysis, establishing what recurring revenue would have been maintained absent the breach. Sterling Forensic applies DCF and revenue multiple methodologies to technology loss claims, addressing the specific economic dynamics of recurring revenue businesses.
What M&A disputes commonly arise in technology companies?
Technology M&A disputes most commonly involve ARR misrepresentation (actual recurring revenue differed from warranted), churn rate disputes, software capitalisation policy disagreements, and revenue recognition issues on the completion accounts.
