Business deal analysis
Valumetry turns basic financials into a structured verdict before you spend a dollar on formal diligence. Buyers get a seven-module engine and a 0–100 Deal Viability Index. Sellers get a fair value, a readiness grade, and realistic sale structures. First deal or fiftieth, both sides see the same math.
Pursue with specific mitigations
Built for every seat at the table
Plain-English findings and the exact questions to ask a broker, so you can hold your own in your first negotiation.
Screen a pipeline fast, compare deals side by side, and share inspectable math with investors.
Consistent, deterministic scoring across every deal that crosses your desk. No analyst variance.
See your fair value, a readiness grade with the factors holding it back, and the four structures buyers will propose.
Revenue, earnings, and industry. Import a CSV, Excel, or PDF — P&L, financial statement, tax return, or CIM — and the fields prefill themselves. No asking price? No problem: the engine suggests a comps-supported price range. Anything you skip is filled with a labeled industry-benchmark assumption, and the confidence rating drops accordingly, so estimates are never presented as facts.
Buyers get seven scored modules covering financials, valuation, market, moat, transferability, risk, and returns, with hard deal-breaker checks. Sellers get a quality-adjusted fair value, a readiness grade, and four modeled sale structures. Same math for both sides of the table.
Every deal returns a Deal Viability Index and a plain-English verdict at no cost, so you can triage as many deals as you want. When one is worth pursuing, unlock the full dashboard, exact figures, price sensitivity, diligence questions, and sale structures for that deal, or go Pro for unlimited access.
For buyers and founders
Each module produces a 0–100 sub-score, written findings, and red, yellow, or green flags. The modules are weighted by mode (acquisition or startup) into the Deal Viability Index. Use it before the LOI: rule out weak targets in minutes, then walk into paid diligence already knowing which ten questions to ask.
Revenue trend, margins vs. benchmark, earnings quality, and SBA debt-service coverage.
Every business classifiable — all 1,012 official NAICS industries — with implied multiples compared against a 44-vertical SMB transaction benchmark table (plus sector-level benchmarks), a fair value range, and a negotiation anchor.
Growth vs. GDP, cyclicality, technology disruption exposure, local saturation, and regulatory trajectory.
Barriers to entry, switching costs, and differentiation feasibility.
Owner dependence, documented processes, management depth, and the local labor market.
Licensing burden, litigation profile, insurance trends, safety intensity, and contract assignment.
Cash-on-cash return, DSCR, and 5-year IRR for acquisitions; capital to breakeven and buy-vs-build ROI for startups.
For sellers
The Sell-Side Scenario Modeler takes your revenue and earnings and produces a quality-adjusted fair value and a Sale Readiness Grade that names the specific factors holding your value back, then models the four structures buyers most often propose. Each shows total price, cash at close, timeline, likely buyer pool, and the trade-offs.
A discounted price in exchange for speed and certainty. Typically closes in 60 to 90 days.
Full fair value, constrained by what an SBA-financed buyer's debt service can support.
A premium price in exchange for carrying a note, with part of the proceeds paid over time.
A guaranteed base plus additional payments tied to the business's performance after closing.
The valuation math is the same math buyers see on the other side of the table, so the numbers hold up in a negotiation.
Every sub-score includes a breakdown of the inputs and the math behind it, and the same inputs always produce the same score. There is no AI variance to explain to your lender, your partner, or your investment committee.
Debt coverage below 1.0, single-customer concentration, an owner who is the business, pending litigation: findings like these cap the score no matter how strong the rest of the deal looks.
The sensitivity view shows how the score moves as the price changes, so both sides can see the price at which a deal starts to work.
You enter a handful of structured fields, never your data room. No documents to upload, no folder access to grant. Your inputs and results are stored securely with your account and are never shared or sold.
