Frequently asked questions
What is a Deal Check?
A free, instant 0-100 score on a specific business listing, built from independent public data — not anything the seller supplies. It flags red flags and tells you whether the deal is worth pursuing further.
What data does it use?
Category fragmentation and demand data, local competitor density, review sentiment, and how the asking price and claimed SDE compare to typical multiples for the industry — all from public sources, not the seller's books.
Is it really free?
Yes. It only asks for your email so we can send you the result and a link back to it. No credit card, no subscription.
How is this different from the full Deal Scan?
The Deal Check is a fast directional score on one listing. The full Deal Scan (at /due-diligence) goes deep: live demand trends, competitor traffic, customer complaints, and a defended GO/NO-GO verdict from 30+ sources.
Do you need the seller's financials?
No — the Deal Check and the full Deal Scan both cover the market side of due diligence, independent of what the seller or broker provides. Pair either with your own financial or QoE review.
