Your agent for buying a business
A personal deal-origination agent, hired for $200 a month. Give it your thesis and Scout hunts every night — then shows up each morning with targets, the evidence behind them, and drafts waiting on your approval.
A deal agent that works after hours
- Hunts every night against your buy-box
- Targets ranked by sell-readiness, with the evidence

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.
Mission in. Conversations out.
You set your buy-box — sector, geography, revenue band, owner profile. Scout knows your thesis.
Every night, Scout re-scores existing matches and hunts net-new targets from public signals — registries, domain data, ownership records. Hard-rejects any listed business.
You wake up to a memo: findings ranked by sell-readiness, evidence cited, shift in effort explained. Targets held exclusively for you.
Outreach drafts wait in your queue — approve, edit, or reject each one. Scout sends nothing on its own.
Scout qualifies gently and proposes calls. The moment an owner raises price, legal, or heat — it stops and hands the thread to you. It is incapable of negotiating on your behalf.
It does the work. You keep the judgment.
Every outreach draft waits for you — approve, edit, or reject. Scout sends nothing without your sign-off. You review the reasoning before anything reaches an owner.
Scout qualifies gently and proposes calls. The moment an owner raises price, legal terms, or heat — it stops immediately and hands the thread to you. It is incapable of negotiating on your behalf.
Outreach sends as the buyer — your persona, dedicated warmed domains. Owners reply to a real acquirer, not a platform. The agent is the worker; you are the face.
$200/month + credits
Credits are an itemized work ledger, not a meter. Each credit is roughly $1 of real agent work — a company investigated, an approved email sent, a reply drafted.
Credits don't gate features — they're purely how much work the agent does. A fraction of one month of a buy-side retainer. Less than one database seat.
The agent is only as good as the machine it operates.
You could prompt a chatbot. It doesn't have 11M+ company records, years-in-business data, verified owner contacts, warmed sending domains, or a clue which owners are actually ready to sell. Scout is the agent plusthe machine it operates — data rails, contact verification, deliverability infrastructure, and a sell-readiness factor system (Life trigger · No successor · Coasting · Age & tenure) built from years in the lower middle market. Day one, it already has a running start. No standalone AI can have that.
