AI Guide for Buyers

Buying a business used to require weeks of manual research. AI assistants can now do much of the heavy lifting — screening deals, explaining financials, and preparing your questions — so you can focus on judgment calls only you can make.

👋 Hi — I'm your buyer guide. Answer 5 quick questions and I'll point you in the right direction.

Question 1 of 5

What kind of business are you looking for?

How to use AI at every step

Screen listings faster

Paste a listing into an AI assistant and ask it to summarize the business model, flag missing information, and list the questions you should ask the seller before going further.

Understand the financials

Share the revenue, cash flow, and asking price from a listing and ask the AI to estimate a multiple, compare it to typical ranges for the industry, and explain what would justify the price.

Build a due diligence checklist

Ask for a due diligence checklist tailored to the specific industry — a laundromat, an e-commerce brand, and a landscaping company each have very different risks to verify.

Draft your outreach and offers

Use AI to draft your first message to a seller, a letter of intent outline, or a list of deal terms to discuss with your attorney. Always have a professional review anything binding.

A note on limits

AI is a research assistant, not a substitute for verified financials, a quality-of-earnings review, or legal advice. Use it to prepare better questions — then verify everything with the seller and your own advisors before you commit.
