The analyst you can’t afford to hire

Buy your first business like a fund would.

DealStratum runs the grunt work of an acquisition search — reaching every broker, chasing replies, and screening each deal — so a first-time buyer operates with the leverage of a team that isn’t on payroll.

Worth a closer look

Recurring revenue · clean books · owner-reliant

Plain read: Sticky route-based contracts and ~70% recurring revenue make this resilient. The risk is owner dependence — ask how transferable the customer relationships are.

The hard part

A fund has analysts for this. You have nights and weekends.

“

Reaching brokers, one email at a time.

Hundreds of brokers are worth contacting. Writing each introduction by hand turns your search into a second full-time job.

“

A pipeline that lives in a spreadsheet.

A few deals in, it’s a tangle of tabs and stale notes. Easy to lose track of who said what, and when.

“

No way to tell a good deal from a bad one.

A business lands in your inbox. Is it worth your time? Without a clear way to evaluate it, every deal is a guess.

> Is Atlas Pest Control worth pursuing at 4.2× EBITDA?

Short answer: yes, with one big question. ~70% of revenue is recurring route contracts — resilient and financeable. But the owner personally services the top 5 accounts. Before you go further, confirm those relationships transfer. If they do, 4.2× is fair to cheap.

Everything you might be wondering.

Do I need to be technical to use this?

Not at all. If you can use email and a spreadsheet, you can use DealStratum. We set up the hard parts for you, and everything is written in plain language — no jargon, no steep learning curve.

Will brokers know the outreach is automated?

No. Messages are personalized and sent from your own email address, so they read like a thoughtful note you wrote yourself. You can review and edit anything before it goes out.

What if I’ve never bought a business before?

You’re exactly who we built this for. DealStratum gives your search a clear structure and the analyst explains every deal in plain English, so you can move forward with confidence even on your first acquisition.

Is my data and email secure?

Yes. Your data is encrypted, and we connect to your email through secure, industry-standard authentication. We never sell your information, and you stay in control of every message that goes out.

How is this different from a spreadsheet or generic CRM?

A spreadsheet just stores notes. DealStratum does the work — it reaches out to brokers, follows up, sorts replies, and screens deals for you. It’s built specifically for buying a business, not adapted from sales software.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. There are no long-term contracts. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel whenever you like, right from your account settings.

Start your search with an unfair advantage.

Bring the discipline of a fund to the biggest decision of your career.
