A 72-hour research screen on any small business listing — every seller claim tested against the public record. $395 flat.
The expensive way to find a red flag is after you've signed.
Fourteen sections, built from the same template every time — so nothing gets skipped because a deal looked easy.
Ungated. Read the whole thing before you order — every competitor gates the sample behind a form. We don't.
Paste the listing URL or text, plus what already worries you. Takes two minutes.
Public records, reviews, licensing, market and labor data — every seller claim gets tested.
A full Deal Screen report and 25 evidence-tied questions for the seller, each one pointing at a specific finding.
We never need your NDA — public data only.
Flat. No calls, no upsell.
72 hours or it's free. If we miss the window, you don't pay.
No. This is research, not advice. We test what the seller and the listing claim against public records, reviews, and licensing — and report what checks out, what doesn't, and what's unverifiable. We never tell you to buy, walk away, or what a business is worth. That call, and the price, are yours. See Section 14 of every report for the full methodology and disclaimer.
Anonymized listings (no business name, blind broker profile) limit some sections — we can't pull reviews or public records for a name we don't have. What we can still test: the listing's own numbers against industry benchmarks, local labor and wage pressure, market and competitor structure, and internal consistency of the claims themselves. See the anonymized-listing approach in our sample report.
Not directly — that's QoE and legal territory, and it involves confidential financials we don't touch pre-LOI. What we do is hand your attorney and CPA a clear list of exactly what our research surfaced and where to concentrate their budget (Section 13 of every report).
It's free. No exceptions, no partial refund math — if we don't deliver inside 72 hours of intake, you don't pay.
Email us the listing — that's the whole intake. The 72-hour clock starts when we confirm receipt.
