Product
SearcherSignal turns broker pages plus source links and buyer notes into screened target rows. Each row shows fit and financeability pressure. It also shows missing facts and the next question to ask.
The route
Every screened target follows the same route. First the source, then the fit, then the facts that decide the next action.
Screened target table
Filter by status. Sort by fit or debt-service pressure. See the next question attached to each target. This is sample data, but it shows the product surface buyers should expect.
| Target | Fit | Financeability | Source | Missing facts | Status | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Route-based cleaning companyCommercial services | Tennessee | 84/100Strong fit: route density, geography, and recurring contracts match | 1.88x DSCR$540k SDE; route density supports downside case | HighBroker packet, website, and local directory match | Contract renewal terms, crew retention, supervisor depth | Pursue | |
| Specialty trades targetHome services | Georgia | 72/100Partial fit: geography and size work; recurring revenue is unclear | 1.62x DSCR$700k SDE; add-backs still need support | MediumBroker listing plus directory match | Add-back schedule, owner role, revenue by quarter | Ask | |
| Machine shopLight manufacturing | Carolinas | 66/100Watch: sector fits, but capex and concentration need proof | 1.34x DSCR$1.1M EBITDA; customer mix needs support | HighMarketplace listing and public website | Capex backlog, top-customer exposure, equipment age | Watch | |
| DTC ecommerce brandEcommerce | Remote | 49/100Weak fit: platform dependence and low coverage pressure the deal | 0.94x DSCR$360k SDE; paid-ad efficiency not yet supported | LowMarketplace listing only | Repeat purchase, ad spend, inventory turns, returns | Pass |
One sharper broker question could change the decision.
Sample data is illustrative. Debt-service and cash-flow outputs are screening estimates only, not lender approval, valuation advice, legal advice, tax advice, or investment advice.
Who It Is For
Use it to avoid spending a week on companies that never fit the thesis.
Use it to make buyer equity, seller note, working capital, cash flow, and lender questions visible early.
Use it to see whether a buyer has a consistent criteria-to-next-action process.
Comparison
Deal aggregators help you find more listings. SearcherSignal helps you decide which targets deserve time. It also shows which ones deserve a question or a pass.
| Job | SearcherSignal | Spreadsheet | CRM | Aggregator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidate target inputs | Turns broker pages, marketplaces, directories, URLs, feeds, and imports into one screened target table. | Manual copy/paste. Source quality and updates are easy to lose. | Tracks pipeline stages after a target is already worth attention. | Collects listings, usually without your buy-box logic. |
| Test financeability early | Surfaces debt service, cash flow, buyer equity, seller note, working capital, and lender questions before diligence. | Works only if the buyer keeps formulas, assumptions, and source support current. | Stores numbers, but does not frame lender questions. | May show financial snippets without pressure-testing the deal. |
| Keep provenance visible | Separates source confidence, broker claims, user notes, missing facts, and review status. | Every claim can look equally strong unless the buyer maintains source notes. | Attachments and notes can bury the fact that matters. | The source may be visible, but confidence is not the product. |
| Decide pass, watch, ask, or pursue | Routes every screen to the next action with the question that changes the decision. | The buyer still has to translate facts into a next step. | Moves records through stages after the decision is made. | Adds more deal flow, but rarely gives a decision route. |
