BizDealIQ
AI Deal Analyzer + free calculators

Know before you buy the business.

BizDealIQ analyzes a small business for-sale the way a seasoned acquirer would — fair-value range, a SOWS acquisition score, and a seller-financing-first offer, in seconds.

First analysis is free. No login required.

Buying a business shouldn't feel like a guess

Listings quote “cash flow” and a price, and leave you to wonder: Is this fair? What multiple should I pay? Could I structure an offer I can actually afford? Most buyers either overpay or walk away from good deals because they can't tell the difference.

The SOWS framework

Popularized by Codie Sanchez, SOWS scores how good an acquisition target is. Counter-intuitively, a higher score is better — the more stale, old, weak, and simple a business is, the more upside you can unlock. BizDealIQ scores every deal on all four.

S

Stale

Outdated marketing and operations — easy upside to capture.

O

Old

A long-tenured, motivated seller open to financing the deal.

W

Weak

Under-optimized systems and pricing you can quickly improve.

S

Simple

A business model simple enough to actually run and grow.

What the analyzer gives you

Valuation & multiple check

A defensible low/typical/high value range and a verdict on whether the asking multiple is fair for the industry.

Seller-financed offer

A complete offer structure: price, down payment, seller-note split, term, and estimated monthly payment.

Diligence checklists

Red flags to watch, due-diligence items to verify, and the exact questions to ask the seller.

How this is different from pasting it into ChatGPT

A general chatbot will happily analyze a listing — but it makes up the numbers, scores every deal differently, and forgets it tomorrow. BizDealIQ moves the hard parts into real data and code.

Invents a valuation from memory — the multiple can change every time you ask.
Valuations grounded in curated comp ranges (industry SDE multiples), applied to your SDE in code — not hallucinated.
Approximates the monthly payment, often getting the amortization wrong.
Exact seller-note amortization math, computed deterministically — the same inputs always give the same payment.
Scores each deal on a different, invisible scale you can't compare.
Consistent SOWS scoring across every deal, with the total recomputed in code so shortlists are comparable.
Gives you prose you still have to turn into real documents.
One-click LOI, due-diligence request checklist, and seller outreach email — copy or download instantly.
Forgets the conversation — no way to line up deals against each other.
A saved deal pipeline that lists your analyses side by side on price, multiple, and score.

We still use a top model for the judgment calls — but valuation, financing math, and scoring are computed in code so they're consistent and defensible, not improvised.
