Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy monthly churn rate for a SaaS business?
For SMB SaaS, a monthly churn rate of 0.5–2% is considered acceptable, equating to 6–22% annual churn. Enterprise SaaS should target 0.2–0.5% monthly churn. Best-in-class SaaS businesses achieve net negative churn through expansion revenue, meaning existing customers generate more revenue than is lost through churn.
What ARR multiple do UK SaaS companies typically sell for?
UK SaaS valuations in 2025 typically range from 3–8× ARR for bootstrapped profitable businesses and 8–15× for high-growth VC-backed companies. Multiples compressed significantly from their 2021 peaks of 30–50× and have stabilised. Key drivers of premium multiples include growth rate above 40% YoY, net dollar retention above 110%, and gross margins above 75%.
What are Stripe's fees for UK merchants in 2025?
Stripe's standard processing fees for UK merchants in 2025 are: 1.5% + 20p for UK consumer cards; 2.5% + 20p for EEA cards; 3.25% + 20p for international (non-EEA) cards. Stripe Tax adds 0.5% per transaction. BACS Direct Debit costs 1% capped at £2, and SEPA Direct Debit costs 0.8% capped at £5.
How much does AWS cost for a small UK SaaS startup?
A basic production setup for a UK SaaS startup — 2 app servers (t3.medium), 1 database (db.t3.medium RDS), 100GB S3 storage — typically costs £80–200 per month on AWS. Reserved instances can reduce this by 30–40%. Cost grows significantly with data transfer, higher-tier instances and additional managed services.
