As a business owner, you continually make decisions that impact your company’s present and future. While you’re an expert in your industry, figuring out how to navigate these crucial business decisions can be overwhelming. Determining the best software platform to run your business from—and determining who to work with to create and maintain it—is a confusing mess, especially given how quickly technology evolves.

To navigate you through this successfully, we’ve put together a list of ten questions to ask a potential developer or agency—as well as yourself!—you’re considering working with. Your answers and their answers will help shed light on your next best step.

Questions about you:

1. Do you just want to complete a project, or do you want a long-term partnership?

2. Are they able to provide support during all of your business hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays?

3. Do they have previous experience in your industry?

4. Do you want to stay with your current software but upgrade it, switch to an entirely new platform, or somewhere in between?

5. Are they able to deploy within your ideal timeframe?

Questions about them:

1. Are they bidding on a project to complete, or do they want a long-term partnership?

2. Are they experienced with your current software program?

3. If the platform has a certification process, are they certified?
