Built for first-time buyers

Most acquisition guides are written for people who already know how to evaluate a deal. They tell you what to think about — not what to actually look for, what fair pricing looks like at SBA-financed sizes, or which signals consistently predict regret.

Deal Scorer treats first-time buyers as the primary audience. Every page is structured around the moments that actually matter: sizing up a niche, modeling whether the math works, and asking the right questions before negotiating. The visual system favors clarity over generic content marketing.

Every claim on the site is grounded in an authoritative external source — never generic content marketing. We pair government and industry-data sources (SBA, IRS, BLS, trade associations, specialty data providers) with practitioner perspective from broker reports, trade press, and operator publications.

Every page lists its sources at the bottom. If a claim isn't sourced, it isn't there.
