The acquisition-analysis tool I work on just went free. I would love feedback
This summer I joined the small team behind Acquio, a tool for analyzing small business acquisitions. The core version just went free, so I wanted to share it here and ask for honest feedback. It was built because the profit number in a broker's sales packet often does not match the tax returns: "one-time" expenses that happen every year, owner salary add-backs that assume a cheap replacement manager, a few good months stretched into a full year. Those differences often decide whether a lender approves the loan. The free version models a deal under any structure (SBA, conventional, or seller financing), builds a full forecast, checks whether the business can cover its loan payments, and estimates your return as the buyer. The part that reads tax returns automatically is paid, with a 7-day free trial.

That is why I am posting. What do you use today to check a broker's numbers? Below is the output for a real listing in my pipeline. The two scores measure loan coverage and buyer return. redacted
