Pricing
Simple pricing. A fraction of what a mistake costs.
One deal, one flat price, everything included — or three deals at once for what two cost separately. No retainers, no hourly billing, no surprises.
Put $597 next to the alternatives.
Nobody pays crystal prices for an uncut stone. $597 is what it costs to cut this one open first.
Deal Pre-Screen
$597Everything included:
- Deal Risk Pre-Screen Report — risk level (low / medium / high / critical) and the headline call: proceed with conditions, pause for evidence, specialist decision required, reprice or restructure, or hard stop
- Evidence gaps — how much your documents can actually prove
- Confirmed conclusions — every claim labelled asserted, documented, reconciled or contradicted
- The top 5–10 red flags, in words you'll understand
- The list of missing documents, and why each one matters
- The exact questions to ask the seller next
- Which specialist the deal deserves: CPA, M&A attorney, SBA lender, or none
- 90 days of it staying open — documents arrive in waves. Upload the bank statements when the seller finally sends them, re-run the analysis, and see exactly what changed
- Everyone you invite reads it free — your CPA, your attorney, your lender, your partner, your spouse. We charge for the deal, never for the people looking at it
- Every one of our 17 analysis modules — the lease, the legal layer, the franchise rules. No cheaper tier that quietly skips them

$597 per deal, flat, and the deal stays open for 90 days. Our seven-day promise covers the report: if it isn't worth acting on, tell us within seven days and we'll make it right. It is a promise about the report, not about how your deal turns out.
Three-Deal Pack
$1,197Almost nobody buys the first business they look at. If you already know you have more than one to check, buy three pre-screens at once: three deals for what two cost separately.
- Used one at a time — start a deal when a business is worth a serious look. Each one gets its own 90 days open, counted from the day you start it
- 12 months to start all three — long enough for a search that runs across a year
- Identical product on every deal — all 17 analysis modules, the same report, the same free readers. A pack buys three of the same thing, not a lighter version of it
- The seven-day promise still applies — if the first report isn't worth acting on, tell us within seven days and we refund the deals you haven't used
For your own deals — pack deals aren't transferable and aren't for resale. This is the only bundle we sell: no bigger pack, no other volume price.
“There are AI tools for $149 a month.”
True. They screen. We verify. Those are different jobs, and the difference is the whole point.
| A monthly screening tool | DealLoupe | |
|---|---|---|
| What it checks | The financials | The financials, the lease, the legal exposure, the franchise rules, the people, the capex |
| Where its numbers come from | A model, with a confidence rating | 28 fixed calculators with unit tests — same documents in, same answer out, every time |
| Where its thresholds come from | Stated without a source | Ten active thresholds, each with its source document and its reviewer — and for every SBA rule, the date it took effect |
| What it says about gaps | Usually nothing | An evidence-gaps section: what your documents do not prove |
| Its verdict | A score that reads as “go” | We never tell you to buy. We tell you what to check next |
| What you pay | $149 a month, whether or not you have a deal | $597 for the deal you actually have. No card on file, nothing to cancel |
On a Main Street deal the thing that kills you is rarely the EBITDA. It's the landlord who won't assign the lease, the licence that stays with the seller, or a lien from an old EIDL loan. A financial screener does not look there.
Right now: the first 50 pre-screens are free.
This is our founding round. We want real deals running through the system, and honest feedback on the reports, before we charge full price. So the first 50 pre-screens are genuinely free — no card required, no catch. When the 50 spots are gone (or the deadline passes), the price goes to $597.
And you keep something for going first: everyone in the founding 50 can buy their second deal at $397 instead of $597.

The short answers.
What exactly is included in the $597?
The full report — executive summary and the call, confirmed conclusions, evidence gaps — the red-flag list, the missing-document list, the seller questions, and the headline call. Every methodology module runs on every deal — there is no cheaper version that skips the lease or the legal layer.
It also includes 90 days of the deal staying open, and free access for everyone you invite. One price, no add-ons.
How fast do I get the report?
The analysis is instant: the moment your documents are in, the AI reads and cross-checks them and generates your report, usually within a couple of minutes. One step comes first — after you request a pre-screen, we email you a secure upload link. So the honest timeline is: request, link, upload, minutes.
Is it one deal or can I check several?
One pre-screen covers one deal, and each deal gets its own full report. If you have several businesses to check, the Three-Deal Pack is $1,197 for three — $399 a deal instead of $597, used one at a time, all three started within 12 months. That is the only bundle: beyond it, every deal costs the same $597, whether it's your first or your fifth.
What happens after 90 days?
The deal becomes read-only. You and everyone you invited keep every version of the report and can export it — that doesn't expire. What stops is adding new documents and re-running the analysis.
Ninety days covers a normal deal: 30–60 days of diligence after the LOI, then 60–90 to close an SBA loan. If yours runs longer, or if you have several deals in the air at once, Deal Room keeps them all open for $59 a month, adds a side-by-side comparison, and tells you when a new document changes a verdict. It contains no pre-screens — each deal is still $597 — and you can cancel any time.
Do I pay for my accountant or attorney to see it?
No. Invite as many people as the deal needs — your CPA, your attorney, your lender, your business partner, your spouse — at no charge. Each one sees the part that concerns them: the accountant gets the financial section, the attorney the legal section, the lender only the lender package.
They can upload too. That's deliberate: the more of the real documents reach us, the more the report can actually prove. Charging you per person would only make you send us less.
I'm a broker, lender, or advisor — is there something for me?
Not yet, but it's being built. Advisor will add a shared workspace and deals at $199 instead of $597, for a planned $1,488 a year. That price is provisional and may change before launch.
Until it opens, professionals use the standard pre-screen at $597. Tell us you're waiting — pick “I'm a broker, lender or advisor” on the form and we'll come to you first, and ask what you actually need before we finish building it.
Do I pay anything in the free launch round?
No. The first 50 pre-screens are fully free — no card required. The cap is the size of our founding round; once it's full, the price goes to $597. What do we get out of it? Real deals through the system and your honest feedback on the report. That's the whole trade — and going first earns you your second deal at $397.
What if the report doesn't help me?
Tell us within 7 days and we'll make it right. See the promise above — and to be clear, we never promise your deal will succeed, only that the report will be worth acting on.
