Our angle
There is a distinct lack of automated, industry-specific due diligence tools that focus on hidden operational liabilities (NNN leases, vendor term resets, unrecorded gift cards) rather than just standard financial P&L verification.

Community Voices

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • massive assessment for a parking lot repaving or a new HVAC system three months later
  • Everything broke. A/C, Water Heater... Everything that could break; did.
  • had to eat an old unit going out
  • look very closely at the lease structure. If it's a Triple Net or NNN lease, the landlord pushes almost all the building maintenance, taxes, and insurance onto you.
  • you are on the hook to fulfill those with zero new cash coming into the register
  • vendors will demand Cash On Delivery for your first 6 months, which can destroy initial cash flow
  • sitting on product you have to return or pay for that isn't showing as a liability anywhere in the financials
  • What I'm looking for are any unexpected gremlins that popped up for you after you took over
