FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Can AcquisitionBot value a business for me?

It produces ranges and comparisons to support your thinking. It is informational, not financial or legal advice, so use a CPA and deal attorney before you close.

What documents should I upload?

Listing, CIM, P&Ls, tax returns and bank statements if you have them. More documents mean a sharper recast.

Is my deal information private?

Yes. Your deal files are used only to produce your reports and are not shared with brokers or other buyers.
