    Δ vs stated(153,000)

    The seller's own tax return doesn't support $153,000 of the add-backs in their CIM. At a 3x multiple, that's $459,000 of asking price resting on figures that don't hold.

    Stated in the CIM's add-back schedule; recomputed against the 2024 federal return.

    Certainty

    Mathematically verified cash flow. Zero AI guessing.

    Stop relying on LLM text summaries that repeat broker errors with false confidence.

    Isolate, stress-test, and toggle broker add-backs on or off with an interactive slider. Watch your adjusted SDE, valuation multiple, and debt service coverage update dynamically in real time.

    Coming soon: Bank corroboration

    Upload the statements and we will reconcile deposits against stated revenue month by month, so "the numbers tie to the bank" stops being something you take on faith.

    The Integrated Solution

    Mathematical Verification Engine

    Real reconciliation, not text extraction.

    We do not just read PDFs. We recompute every calculation the seller states from its own components, cross-referencing tax filings, P&L data, and the add-back schedule to verify actual operating cash flow. Where they disagree, you see both numbers and the arithmetic.

    Interactive Add-Back Scenario Slider

    Model your valuation in real time.

    Test how your purchase price and debt service coverage change when you accept, discount, or reject specific broker add-backs. Build an adjusted SDE figure you can defend in negotiations.

    Industry Multiple Ranges and Value Drivers

    Know the why behind the multiple.

    Benchmark your target against researched multiple ranges for its sub-sector. Instantly see which operational attributes increase or decrease the company's valuation, and by how much.

    Contextual CIM Intelligence

    Instant source-attributed answers.

    Ask targeted questions about customer concentration, key employees, or supplier terms. NextPhase pulls exact data points and names the file each one came from.

    Management Meeting Prep

    Walk into management calls prepared.

    Automatically generate target-specific interview guides, red flag warnings, and requested documentation schedules tailored to the deal's industry.

    Deal Pipeline and Broker Directory

    Keep your deal flow structured.

    Manage every active opportunity in a dedicated M&A pipeline. Track broker contacts, NDA statuses, and valuation milestones in one centralized workspace.

    Security

    Your deal documents remain strictly confidential.

    Your documents are private to your account, never used to train AI models, and deletable at any time.

    Zero AI Model Training

    Your uploaded CIMs, tax returns, and financials are never used to train public or private AI models. Your data remains strictly isolated to your workspace.

    Encrypted, Certified Infrastructure

    Deal data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit over TLS, hosted with providers that hold SOC 2 Type II certification. Payments are handled by a PCI DSS Level 1 provider, and card details never touch our systems.

    Permanent Deletion on Demand

    You own your data completely. Delete any deal file, financial schedule, or entire deal permanently at any time with a single click.

    Proprietary deal flow

    Looking for pre-audited, off-market acquisitions instead?

    In addition to auditing your external deals, NextPhase prepares and lists businesses for sale. Every listing is prepared with the seller and reviewed by our team before it reaches your desk, using the same discipline the Deal Desk applies to your own deals.

    Prepared, Not Just Listed

    Clean P&Ls, documented add-back schedules, and figures reconciled against bank records before the listing goes live. The work you would otherwise do yourself, already done.

    Introduction fee at close, paid by the buyer.

    The introduction fee applies only to businesses we introduce you to, and not every listing carries one — the NDA tells you that listing's terms before you sign. Deals you source yourself and evaluate in the Deal Desk are never subject to it.

    Never overpay for a business because of unverified numbers.

    Join searchers and acquirers who evaluate deals with velocity, certainty, and an unfair edge.
