Overview

Mortgage technology businesses typically trade at 5.5×–11× EBITDA. Recurring SaaS licence income from lenders or brokers, regulatory compliance integration, and open banking connectivity support premium valuations. API-driven architecture and high switching costs once embedded in mortgage origination workflows are key competitive advantages. Regulatory change and lender technology investment cycles are the primary risk factors.
