What we do › Diligence packet

The public half of business due diligence, done before the accountant starts.

A fraction of the quality-of-earnings review it sits beside, and on an SBA acquisition the professional fees can come out of the loan. This is the part of diligence the public record can answer, done before the accountant starts the clock.

Diligence packet

Business brokers, and buyers inside a diligence window

$750 a deal Brokers who send more than one a month: ask. Two business days

When. The LOI is signed and the clock started.

You bring

The address, the seller's P&L, and the lease.

You get

  • Whether the P&L squares with what the corridor actually supports — read against 29,949 arms-length recorded sales and the assessor's own valuations, not against an industry average.
  • Whether the lease or the dirt is the real asset, and what the rent looks like beside the building it is in.
  • What licences and open permits convey with it, out of 5,951 licensed businesses and 8,971 sites carrying permit history.
  • A person reads all three and signs the packet.
What this cannot tell you

This is the public half of diligence and it does not replace the private half. We do not audit books, we do not verify a seller's add-backs, and we never speak to the seller. What we can tell you is whether the story the paperwork tells is the story the county's record tells — and where those two disagree is worth more than either on its own.

Made from What the business actually earns — free on the platform, no account. Bring your own file and run it yourself; if you would rather we did it and put a name on the answer, that is what the fee is for.

Four fields. A person reads it and replies — nothing is quoted or scheduled by this form.
This decides which records we pull, so it is worth a sentence rather than a job title.
The data itself is free. Every record behind this is published at brickandmortar.dev/datasets, with no account, and the tool this is made of is free to run yourself. What the fee buys is a person pointing it at your list and putting a name on the answer.
