Comparing acquisition opportunities
Most buyers look at dozens of businesses before they buy one. The difficulty is that a listing with a lower price is not necessarily a better deal, and the highest-earning business is frequently the most expensive way to buy those earnings. Comparing on a consistent set of underwriting metrics is what makes the choice obvious.
Compare on these, in this order
- DSCR. Anything under 1.25× is a financing problem before it is anything else. Filter first, evaluate second.
- Cash required at closing. The binding constraint for most buyers is not the price — it is the cash they can actually produce.
- Cash-on-cash return. What the deal pays you in year one relative to what you put in.
- Multiple versus the sector band. Whether you are paying a fair price for those earnings.
- Revenue cushion. How much has to go wrong before the deal is in trouble.
A business at 2.4× SDE with a 1.6× DSCR and 60% recurring revenue beats a business at 2.1× with a 1.15× DSCR and one customer at 40% of revenue, every time — even though the second looks cheaper.
Where your data lives
Saved deals are written to your browser's local storage. They never leave your device, they are not uploaded to CalcNest, and they are not visible to anyone else. That also means they are specific to this browser: clearing site data removes them, and they will not appear on your phone. Use Export JSON to keep a copy, or the Copy link button in the analyzer to send a single deal to yourself or an advisor.
