The Buybox Builder

The most expensive mistake in small-business M&A is not knowing what you’re hunting.

Twelve questions, four minutes. You get a one-page buybox — capital and financing posture, target profile, the risk lines you won’t cross, and the operating edge you bring — plus green flags to chase, red flags to screen, and the classic deals to walk from.

• A buybox you can send to brokers, lenders, and your spouse.
• Green flags and red flags derived from your answers, not generic lists.
• The Baltimore buyer list: we flag businesses matching your buybox as we meet their owners.
