What you get back from a search
ScoutSearch summarySearched 340 businesses against your criteria. Found 3 off-market matches that aren't in any broker database. 2 are strong fits: an HVAC operator and an auto shop, held exclusively for you for 30 days.
Each match includes the owner's sell-readiness and a draft outreach message, ready for you to review.
47-year commercial HVAC company
~$2.8M revenue. Parked domain. Founder still sole officer in the state registry.
30-year auto shop, two co-owners
One co-owner has posted exit-planning content for 18 months straight.
Owner with a 2023 surgery on record
Took an $800K exit from a side operation instead of reinvesting. Main business still runs.
How Scout works a match
Scout finds businesses from public records, not broker listings, and rejects anything already on the market. For each match, it researches the owner and drafts the first message for you to approve.

Scout sources. Ledger finances.
Finding the business is half the job. Ledger reads the numbers Scout gathered, underwrites the deal, and routes it to lenders to fund the purchase.
Underwriting and lenders for the deal you found
Ledger underwrites the business, matches it to lenders, and compares their terms — you choose which offer to take.
Underwrites the deal
Models cash flow, debt service, and an offer range you can defend before you call.
Routes to lenders
Matches the deal to SBA, conventional, and seller-note lenders.
Compares the terms
Puts rate, leverage, and covenants side by side so you can pick.
You decide
Nothing goes to a lender until you approve it.
