Key takeaway

Source-code ownership gives your business options. You can change providers, add features and control deployment without rebuilding the product from the beginning.

01

Ownership removes platform lock-in

When the repository, documentation and deployment access are transferred to you, your business is not dependent on one vendor to keep operating.

02

What a proper handover includes

A useful handover includes the current source, environment setup instructions, database structure, deployment notes and a list of third-party services. Credentials should be transferred securely and rotated after delivery.
