Business Acquisition Analyzer

Analyze listings and financials, valuation, profitability, financing, and returns.

Takes a listing and its financials and does the arithmetic a buyer should do before viewing: what it is worth, what it will really earn, what the debt costs and what is left over. It ends with the number that matters - cash in the buyer's pocket after paying the loan.

What a v1 does5 features
  • Valuation on several methods, with the range rather than one figure
  • Seller's numbers recast to owner earnings
  • Loan structures modelled, including SBA-style terms
  • Cash-on-cash return after debt service
  • The questions this particular set of accounts should raise

The market

New categoryBuying businesses
No one sells this yet

BizBuySell and Acquire.com list businesses for sale and Empire Flippers brokers them, but none analyses a listing's financials on a buyer's behalf, and none publishes revenue. The absence of a figure here reflects an unbuilt product rather than a failed one. Priced at $99 a month for a serious buyer.

Why this audience

These viewers have absorbed the vocabulary of acquisition - multiples, owner earnings, seller financing - from the content and now face a real listing. The arithmetic between a listing and a decision is exactly what they are least equipped for and most aware they need.

Before it can launch

No licence, certification or data agreement stands between this and a launch — app-store review and an ordinary privacy policy aside.

How the pricing works

Deal-sized value, subscription price. A buyer runs this over twenty or thirty listings before one closes, so charging per analysis would tax exactly the diligence the tool exists to encourage.

Fifty thousand paying users is the ceiling every one of these pages is drawn against, not a forecast. It opens at a thousand, the bottom of the range, so the first figures you see are the modest ones. What the cap buys is comparability: the same range on every app, and the percentage of the audience it takes as the number that moves.

Is this the one for your audience?

We fund it, build it, and run it. You bring the audience and take a share of the revenue. Nothing to pay and nothing to build.
