Automated Due Diligence and Risk Auditing

The current acquisition market for small businesses and micro-SaaS relies heavily on expensive CPAs and lawyers for due diligence. Buyers frequently lose time and money uncovering inflated owner earnings, hidden liabilities, and unfavorable lease terms late in the process. Automating financial normalization and contract scanning allows self-funded searchers and small private equity firms to evaluate deals faster and avoid buying artificially inflated assets.

The recent boom in retiring baby boomers has accelerated SMB transitions, while advancements in LLMs now allow for highly accurate, low-cost extraction of financial data from unstructured tax returns and complex legal contracts.

Rough estimate: The Total Addressable Market encompasses the broader SMB M&A advisory and legal services sector, valued in the billions. The Serviceable Obtainable Market focuses on the growing niche of micro-PE, search funds, and solo acquirers, representing a multi-million dollar opportunity for automated due diligence software.
