Verification

Every listing is diligenced before you ever see it.

Tax returns, P&Ls, bank statements, and add-backs are checked against each other before a listing goes live. Problems aren't hidden — they're flagged, explained, and priced in.

Three-way reconciliation across tax returns, books, and bank data
Add-back scrutiny — the place most SDE numbers quietly fall apart
Flags shown to buyers with the seller's response alongside

Financing

Buyers arrive with the loan already modeled.

Every eligible listing carries SBA 7(a) pre-qualification with debt service and DSCR computed on the verified numbers — so offers are real and sellers stop wasting months on buyers who can't close.

The close

Funds in escrow. Released when both sides confirm.

The riskiest week of the deal — money and keys changing hands — happens inside the platform. Escrow, signatures, and the final walk-through run on one rail with a complete record.

One rail

Twenty years to build. Sixty-seven days to close it right.

Most founders still sell their life's work through PDFs, spreadsheets, and hope. This is what the market looks like when every stage runs on one rail.

Why deals die everywhere else.

Roughly half of accepted offers on small businesses never make it to closing. It's not bad luck — it's a process with no rail.

The typical marketplace

✕Seller uploads a PDF. Nobody checks it.
✕SDE taken on faith — add-backs unexamined.
✕Anonymous buyers browse; most can't finance.
✕Financing starts after the LOI. Months lost.
✕Escrow and closing docs are someone else's problem.
Result: surprises in diligence, retrades, dead deals.
