How it works

From Seller Claims to a Source-Linked Buyer Decision.

Business Buyer Check does not turn incomplete information into certainty. It shows what was tested, what supports it, what could not be checked and what the buyer should do next.

Start with QuickCheck. Use DealScreen only if the listing deserves deeper risk analysis. Move to DealProof when documents and identity-specific records are available. Use Deal Intelligence to preserve changes through closing.

1. Capture the seller's claims

Enter the listing, asking price, revenue, SDE, industry, location and known deal terms. These remain seller-provided or buyer-provided until stronger evidence supports them.

2. Test the economics

QuickCheck and DealScreen calculate price ratios, debt service, indicative DSCR and downside cases. Every formula retains its inputs and assumptions.

3. Establish the target's identity

DealProof builds the Business Identity Passport from legal names, DBAs, former names, addresses and identifiers. A name-only match cannot confirm a record.

4. Activate applicable sources

NAICS, activities, products, facilities, licenses and identifiers determine which government and public-record sources are relevant. Nonapplicable sources are not counted as completed searches.

5. Reconcile the documents

When authorized documents are available, DealProof compares revenue, earnings, add-backs, working capital and concentration. Low-confidence extracted fields stay unresolved until reviewed.

6. Produce buyer actions

Each material conclusion connects claim, evidence, interpretation, consequence and action. Outputs include seller questions, required documents, offer protections and closing conditions.

7. Preserve the version

Exports retain product name, evidence cutoff, sources, limitations and a verification hash. A later recheck creates a new version instead of changing the old report.

What Is Automated and What Is Not

Automated sources include applicable Census, SBA, BLS, USAspending, EPA, CFPB, FEMA, CMS NPI, CPSC and FDA checks. FMCSA and other connectors can depend on configuration or identifiers. UCC, licenses, courts, OSHA, DOL and USPTO commonly require guided review. SAM exclusions, OFAC automation, parts of healthcare screening and automated document processing remain partial until their production data or providers are configured.
