Losing Our Biggest CustomerIn many types of businesses, “customer concentration” can be a real concern, with a few big customers that make up a substantial portion of the company’s revenues.

Buyers, of course, are concerned that if any of those big customers leave after the sale closes, the Buyer is not getting the company’s present value.

If a company has too much customer concentration, business Seller needs to try to diversify the customer base or be willing to accept a flexible method of payment on the purchase price  based on future revenues.
