Tell us what you're looking for; Scout does the research on companies nobody sent you and tells you what it established.

01

Set your criteria

Sector, size, geography, and the kind of owner you want to back.

02

Scout investigates the shortlist

Companies measured against your Brief — name, location, revenue estimate, and how each one compares.

03

Evidence, then a Finding

Scout verifies the owner contact where the public record allows, assembles the sell-readiness case against your Brief, and returns a Finding that says what was established and what is still uncertain.

The top of a company record in Scout: the qualified outcome, a one-sentence verdict, the paragraph reading the company against the Brief, and the facts behind it.

Why searchers choose Dealport.

Real businesses, researched

Investigated on fit and ownership — not raw rows to wade through.

The ones that never list

Founder-owned businesses you won't find on any marketplace.

Your Project stays yours

Findings, evidence, and the reasons behind every decision are workspace-private. Work Scout does for your Project is not shown to another customer.

Plain answers, no jargon.

Start with a Brief — sector, size, geography, and what disqualifies a company — then find businesses that fit, ideally off-market before they list. Scout investigates candidates across 14M+ company records, verifies the owner contact where the public record allows, and returns a Finding on each with the evidence behind it.
