1. We get many of the same questions when talking to clients about
turning their ideas into businesses, so we’ve put together this complete
guide to SaaS platforms.

2. What is a SaaS platform?
 If you are thinking about building an app or website, you may have heard the term “SaaS
platform,” but what exactly is a SaaS platform?
 The term SaaS stands for software as a service solution. The easiest way to describe a
SaaS platform is by saying it’s “software sold as a subscription” or “software accessed
through a web browser.”
 This means that if you are planning on building some kind of application, the SaaS model
is probably your best choice – anyone in the world with an internet connection is a
potential customer.
 If you think about it, many modern-day “websites” are actually SaaS products.
 Netflix, Dropbox, Google Apps – they all provide some sort of software as a service.
 Now that you know what SaaS is, let’s look at some of the advantages and benefits of
building a SaaS platform.

3. Why Should You Build
a SaaS Platform?
Building a SaaS product
instead of “traditional”
software has many advantages.
The main advantages of
building a SaaS product are:
•Monthly Recurring Revenue
(MRR)
•Flexibility
•Future-proofing
•Taking advantage of the cloud
•Opportunity for a big exit

4. SaaS Solutions Are Flexible
 SaaS is flexible. The ability to create a minimal viable product (MVP) is another great
advantage of building a SaaS platform, an entrepreneur has the ability to listen to
customers and develop an application that will make sales right away.
 This is a great alternative to traditional software where an entrepreneur or business
would spend months or years developing software only to find out that customers aren’t
interested.
 With SaaS, the entrepreneur has the ability to make a much smaller investment at first.
After building out an MVP and getting customer feedback, the entrepreneur can then
add features to the platform while at the same time receiving cash flow from current
customers.
 When done correctly, SaaS development pays for itself.

5. User Benefits of SaaS Platforms
 Customers prefer the SaaS model over traditional models because:
 Lower capital investment
 SaaS is flexible
 Ability to access the software from anywhere in the world
 Similar experience to browsing the web
 Ongoing training

6. SaaS Requires Lower Capital Investment
 Customers love buying from SaaS companies because of the much lower initial cost.
Because the costs of using SaaS apps are spread out over time, customers have the ability
to use your product and have more capital on their books.
 This is great for customers because they have the option of subscribing when they need
the service and then canceling the subscription if they no longer need it.
