15 questions to ask an app development company before you hire them
June 15, 2026 · 5 min read
FintechThe questions that surface how a firm really works, before a contract exists.
On the team
Who writes the code? Where are they? How many projects are they on? Who replaces them if they leave mid-build?
On process
What happens in the first two weeks? How often do we see working software? What does your definition of done include — tests, accessibility, analytics?
On ownership
Who owns the repository, the app store listings, the design files and the infrastructure accounts on day one and at the end?
On risk
What has gone wrong on a recent project, and what did you change afterwards? A firm with no answer has not shipped enough.
On the exit
Can our internal team take this over? What does the handover package include?
