Who uses it
Built for searchers who are serious about picking the right industry.
01
Searchers narrowing down their industry thesis
You have two or three verticals in mind. Before you commit to one, run the benchmarks. Multiples, margins, and owner demographics tell you more than intuition does.
02
Searchers evaluating a specific deal
You have a listing in front of you. Use the benchmarks to pressure-test the ask. Is the multiple in range? Are the margins typical? Does this deal look like the industry or like an outlier?
03
Searchers building a geographic target list
You know what you want. Use the geographic analysis to understand where deal density is highest and where competition is lightest before you start building your outreach list.
