How it works

Three reports. No black box.

The same inputs always produce the same report, and every factor carries a reason.

Verification.

Is it genuinely profitable?

T0 Document integrity: Do the claimed numbers tie across GST, ITR, P&L and the lease?
T1 Triangulation: Claimed revenue against GSTR-1 turnover and bank deposits. A gap over about 15% on GST is a priority review item.
T2 Forensic scan: Customer concentration of 60% or more, owner dependency, short lease, lapsed licences, open court cases or GST notices.
T3 CA sign-off: A partner Chartered Accountant reviews the pack and stamps the CA Verified badge. Paid, planned tier.
T4 Site visit: Stock, plant, staff and signage physically verified. Optional, planned tier.

Is it worth this price?

Normalise earnings: Reported EBITDA plus one-time items, minus off-market rent and a market-rate deduction for the owner’s own pay.
Value band: Normalised profit times a category multiple, checked against the net tangible asset floor.
Health score: Nine weighted, explainable factors, scored 0 to 100.
Verdict: Priced below range, Fairly priced, Room to negotiate or Closer look advised, with the reason stated.

When do I break even?

The sum: Purchase price, closing costs and working capital, divided by honest monthly profit.
Owner-dependency haircut: If the owner personally drives the revenue, expected profit is discounted before any number is shown.
Three scenarios: Optimistic, base and pessimistic, at 30% either side of the base case.
36-month curve: Growth and seasonality applied month by month, with the breakeven month marked.
