[02] The Problem
Buying a Main Street business is broken at every step.
Find
Sourcing is the hardest part
Brokers, cold lists, closed networks. Months of manual search.
Buy
Negotiation is artisanal
Every diligence, every owner conversation — handmade, one at a time.
Finance
Every deal needs debt — and more after.
Sourced lender-by-lender, after the fact. The lender who funds it never sees the owner again.
[03] The Solution
Dealport does the work of buying a business — for you, faster.
Sourcing, underwriting, financing — three agents working as your co-pilot, so you close more deals in less time.
