Customer Concentration

2026-05-31 7 min read

Customer concentration measures the share of total revenue from a company's largest customers — typically reported as % of revenue from top 1, top 5, top 10 accounts. High customer concentration (>20% from one customer, >50% from top 5) is a material risk for SaaS valuations — VCs and acquirers discount businesses with concentrated revenue. The metric matters most at $10–50M ARR; below $10M, concentration is expected.
