Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Deal Decision Review?

A Deal Decision Review is an independent preliminary assessment of a small-business acquisition opportunity. It examines available financial information, identifies important risks, and helps buyers decide whether further investigation is justified before committing to comprehensive due diligence.

What documents do I need to provide?

Start with the financial information you currently have, ideally recent profit-and-loss statements, annual revenue and earnings figures, the asking price, and any available supporting records. Additional documents may be requested depending on the business and the quality of the evidence.

What is the Deal Score?

The Deal Score is a preliminary assessment expressed on a scale of 1–100. It summarizes key financial observations, identified risks, and the strength of available evidence. The report explains the reasoning behind the score.

What do GO, CAUTION, and NO-GO mean?

GO: The available evidence supports moving forward to the next stage of investigation.

CAUTION: Important uncertainties or risks should be investigated before proceeding.

NO-GO: Significant concerns indicate that proceeding under the current circumstances may not be justified.

These are preliminary assessments, not guarantees or final investment decisions.

Does the review determine whether the asking price is fair?

The review includes a preliminary asking-price sanity check based on the financial information and evidence provided. It may identify pricing concerns or questions requiring further investigation. It is not a formal business valuation or appraisal.

How much does the Deal Decision Review cost?

The price is $399 USD for one business acquisition opportunity. You submit your information first. We screen the opportunity and provide payment instructions if the engagement is accepted.

Does this replace professional due diligence?

No. The Deal Decision Review is an early-stage assessment designed to help you decide whether more extensive investigation is worthwhile. It does not replace legal, tax, accounting, valuation, or other professional due diligence.
