Frequently Asked Questions

For Business Owners

How much does it cost to list my business?
Nothing. Scoring your business and listing it on AcquireScore is completely free. We make money from PE firms who pay to access listings. You never pay a listing fee, commission, or success fee.
How is my AcquireScore calculated?
Your AcquireScore is a composite grade (A-F, scored 0-100) based on 25 covenant tests across 5 categories, EBITDA quality analysis with 9 adjustment types, and 10 red flag detectors. All math is deterministic — no black-box AI.
Will my employees or customers find out I'm selling?
No. Blind listings hide your company name and details. Buyers must sign NDAs before receiving identifying information. You approve each buyer individually.
How is this different from a business broker?
Brokers charge 8-12% commission and control the process. AcquireScore is free for sellers, gives you full control, and connects you with a curated PE buyer network. Your financials are pre-verified for faster, higher-value closes.
Can I improve my score before listing?
Absolutely. After your first score, you see exactly what to fix. Many sellers improve 10-20 points in their first round. Re-score unlimited times for free.

For PE Firms & Acquirers

What does 'pre-scored' mean?
Every listing has been through our full 25-test covenant engine, EBITDA quality analysis, and 10 red flag detectors. The AcquireScore (A-F, 0-100) is verified and transparent.
Can I run my own covenant analysis?
Yes. Dealmaker plans let you apply custom playbooks with your own thresholds, weights, and grade configurations on any listing.
What's in the lender-ready packages?
Compliance certificates, covenant schedules with headroom analysis, EBITDA bridges, and risk summaries. All carry the 'Verified by AcquireScore' stamp.
How does deal matching work?
Set your criteria (industry, revenue, geography, minimum grade). New matching listings trigger instant notifications. Dealmaker users get priority matching.
Is this a replacement for QoE?
No — AcquireScore handles preliminary diligence so you kill bad deals early. For deals that pass screening, you still want a formal QoE. But you send 80% fewer deals to your QoE provider.
