Most SMB listings do not give buyers enough information to make a serious decision.
That is the problem Acquisition Decision Engine (ADE) is built around.
ADE is not here to find deals for you.
It is here to help stop buyers from believing bad information too early.
A lot of bad deals do not look bad at first. They look interesting. The revenue looks real. The seller’s story sounds reasonable. The asking price feels justifiable.
Then the weak spots show up later:
Unsupported add-backs. Owner dependence. Customer concentration. Project-based revenue being treated like recurring revenue. Working capital needs. Debt service that barely works. Missing tax returns or incomplete financials. A purchase price the business may not actually support.
By that point, many buyers have already invested time, energy, lender credibility, and emotional momentum into a deal that should have been pressure-tested earlier.
ADE is a structured pre-LOI discipline system for SMB buyers, searchers, and acquisition entrepreneurs.
It helps evaluate a deal before you get too deep by producing a first-pass analysis that includes:
• Deal quality score • Proceed / caution / reject recommendation • SBA and lender financing pressure test • Estimated financing ceiling • Missing and weak data flags • Buyer risk warnings • Strengths and weaknesses • Watch items • Deal-killer flags • Lender-style memo support
The goal is not to replace judgment, diligence, lenders, CPAs, attorneys, or operators.
The goal is to create a disciplined first screen before the expensive part of the acquisition process begins.
For a limited time, new users can run 3 free deal analyses.
No credit card required.
