Customer acquisition cost in B2B - What does it cost to acquire a new business customer?

12/07/2022 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

The cost of acquiring a new business customer depends on various factors. These factors can vary depending on the industry, the size of the company, and the potential customer. Nevertheless, there are some general guidelines to keep in mind.

In general, it costs companies between 5% and 15% of total revenue to acquire a new business customer. This percentage, known as the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), is made up of the cost of creating leads, acquiring them, and maintaining them.

In addition, customer service is often required to help customers integrate with the platform and provide further support as needed. These costs must also be included in CAC calculations.

It is important that companies have a CAC budget to track and control their investments in customer acquisition. This is the only way they can ensure that they achieve their goals and generate a positive ROI.
