How to choose a software development company

Proof in your domain

Ask for case studies with named clients and results in your industry.

Code and IP ownership

Make sure the code, data and documentation are yours from day one.

Visibility

You should see the backlog, pull requests and releases, not only status emails.

Start and scale

Ask when coding starts, and how the team grows or shrinks with your roadmap.

Clear pricing

Prefer a published price and a first deliverable agreed in writing.

Security

Check the access controls, audit trails and contracts such as NDAs and DPAs.
