Know what a business is worth before you write the LOI.
We rebuild the numbers behind a small-business listing or CIM and put the answer in your hands within 48 hours. What the business really earns, a fair price range, and whether an SBA lender will actually fund it.
Two products. Pick by where you are in the deal.
Most buyers start with a screen on a listing they're circling, then come back for the full package once the seller has shared real financials.
48-Hour Deal Screen
- An earnings bridge that answers whether the headline number is net income or real SDE, and what's left after a market salary
- Valuation against current industry multiples, with a fair-price range
- An SBA 7(a) structure with debt coverage at the asking price and two downside cases
- The red flags and the questions to put to the seller before an LOI
- An offer anchor and the path to full price
Delivered as a PDF within 48 hours of receiving the listing or CIM. If the deal is already dead on the numbers, we tell you in the first page.

No calls required to get started. Most clients never need one.
For brokers
Deals die in diligence. This catches it in two days.
The buyer who has already run the SBA math is the buyer who closes. We'll run the first screen free on any live listing of yours, for any serious buyer you point at it.
For lenders and SBA closers
Our DSCR model is built the way you underwrite: real salary, capex reserve, and downside cases already in. Buyers who arrive with it save you a round of back-and-forth.
