See what the numbers actually mean
SDE, EBITDA, DSCR, valuation range — calculated automatically with every formula explained in plain English. No black box.
Know if it's worth pursuing
Scenario modeling, debt capacity, lender readiness. Make the call with confidence — or walk away before you waste another weekend.
How it works
Six steps from “I have no idea” to “I know exactly where I stand.”
Upload Financials
Got a messy spreadsheet from the broker? That's fine. Drop in your CSV or XLSX — P&L, balance sheet, tax returns. We'll take it from there.
Map Line Items
Tell us what each line item is — revenue, owner salary, one-time expenses. Our AI suggests categories so you're not starting from scratch.
Review Key Metrics
SDE, EBITDA, DSCR, margins — the numbers advisors charge thousands to calculate. Every formula is shown and explained so you actually understand them.
Model Scenarios
What if revenue grows 5%? What if you put 20% down instead of 10%? Adjust the assumptions and compare best case, base case, and worst case.
