The Deal Sheet

What We Do

The Deal Sheet provides institutional-quality research for individual buyers, search funds, and independent sponsors acquiring small businesses. We analyze thousands of listings, reconstruct financials, model valuations, and surface the deals worth your time — so you can spend less time on due diligence and more time closing.

Our Methodology

Every industry report starts with market data from IBISWorld, PitchBook, and SEC filings. We cross-reference listing data from BizBuySell, BusinessesForSale, and broker databases. Financial analysis uses reconstructed P&L statements with SDE normalization. Valuations triangulate across SDE multiples, revenue multiples, and comparable transactions.
