What it solves

Buying a business is risky, and most small buyers cannot afford full institutional diligence at the start of a deal. They lack easy access to entity verification, lawsuit and lien searches, ownership mapping, reputation review mining, regulatory checks, and financial document review, so they rely on seller-provided documents and surface-level research.

Built for Acquisition entrepreneurs, search fund buyers, small business and SBA buyers, real estate investors, private lenders, small private equity operators, and independent sponsors.

Overview

A user creates a deal and enters business, property, owner, or asset information. The system verifies business identity, runs modular data-source adapters across entity, legal, lien, reputation, regulatory, property, and market records, and analyzes uploaded documents. It produces normalized evidence records, a red-flag engine output with severity and confidence, an overall risk and confidence score, a diligence request list, an AI investment memo, and an exportable PDF report. It is positioned as a first-pass analyst, not a replacement for lawyers or accountants.

What this demonstrates

Builds a modular provider-adapter data layer that normalizes every source into a common evidence record, driven by background research jobs. Adds document upload and analysis, a red-flag and risk/confidence scoring engine, an AI memo grounded in real evidence, PDF report generation, and a payment-provider abstraction that degrades gracefully to mocks when keys are absent.

What makes it different

The first-pass AI diligence analyst that helps buyers know what to verify before they close — institutional-grade risk intelligence without a massive diligence budget.

First-pass, not a replacementPositioned alongside lawyers, accountants, and investigators, not instead of them.
Every source normalizes to evidenceAll data sources become structured Evidence Records tied to the deal.
Red flags link to real evidenceAI must not fabricate evidence; each red flag references its sources.

Compliance-gated sensitive dataSkip tracing is gated, logged, and permitted-use only.
Never advises buy or sellThe memo states what was found, why it matters, and what to verify.
