Web-Wide Deal Scanning

Every Deal. Everywhere.

Meet Radar™, an AI assistant that scans the entire internet 24/7 for listings that match your deal box, and emails you the moment it finds one.

Great deals don’t sit. The first credible offer usually wins, and Radar makes sure that’s you.

BizScout Radar email alert: Established coin and card laundromat in Austin, Texas, 92% dealbox fit
  • Set your deal box once.

    Radar remembers every industry, range, and multiple you’d say yes to.

  • Reaches the corners of the web you don’t.

    Regional broker sites, niche marketplaces, and owner-listed deals the big aggregators miss.

  • Email the moment a match lands.

    No more checking ten sites at 6 AM. The deals come to you.

Off-Market Leads and Exclusive Listings

Find Deals Nobody Else Is Looking At.

Two ways in: businesses that aren't for sale, and businesses listed only on BizScout.

Off-Market Leads

The best small businesses are owned by people who haven't decided to sell. We find them, verify them, and hand you the owner's direct line.

  • Star rating, reviews, and Google profile on every lead, so you can tell a real operating business from a zombie in seconds.
  • Owner name, email, and phone triangulated across multiple credible sources, putting your outreach in front of the person who actually signs.
  • Filter by industry, geography, and size, then save the search and we rerun it weekly to keep your pipeline full.

Exclusive Listings

Exclusive BizScout listing: Turnkey Martial Arts Studio in Oak Brook, IL

Sellers list these only on BizScout. Pro members get them first.

  • Zero competition from buyers browsing other marketplaces, so you’re never one of many offers in the seller’s stack.
  • Move before the rest of the marketplace ever sees it, while the seller is still fresh and the inbox still empty.
  • Message the seller in-platform, with no broker filter, no callback queue, and no asking price marked up to cover a commission.

The Intelligence Layer

Which of These 20,000 Deals Are Worth Your Time?

A triage score, comparable benchmarks, and industry context on every listing.

BizScout Score

BizScout Score panel showing a 92 Excellent score with Valuation 29/30, Earnings Power 38/40, Data Quality 20/20, and Freshness 5/10 breakdown

A 1-100 score on every listing, built from price-to-cash-flow versus the industry, data completeness, days on market, revenue size, and seller financing. Sort by it. Skip the deals that were never going to work.

  • See the full breakdown behind every score on every listing, with no black box hiding the factors.
  • Surface top-scoring deals across industries you never thought to search, so quality cuts through your filter bias.
  • Scores update as listings change, with price cuts and aging deals re-ranking so you catch the movers first.

ScoutSights

ScoutSights panel showing asking price $2.5M at 1.97x EBITDA with sales multiple, profit margin 35.8%, debt service $364K, and cash-on-cash 363% benchmarks

Benchmarks any listing's multiples, margins, and returns against comparable deals in the same industry. You know exactly where a business stands.

  • Catch overpriced deals before you fall in love, with ScoutSights flagging any multiple above the industry norm.
  • Find hidden gems in unfamiliar industries, where strong margins on a low multiple stand out fast.
  • Source attribution on every estimated field, so you know which numbers came from real closed deals and which are modeled.

  • Common risks and competitive density baked into the listing view, putting you ahead of questions that would otherwise surface at LOI.
  • The same intelligence banks and M&A pros pay for separately, included at no extra cost and with no extra login.

From the Field

Serious Buyers Are Already Finding Their Edge.

Built for serious acquirers. Here's what buyers are finding inside Pro.

I ran the Deal Calculator on a laundromat before I'd even emailed the broker. Cash-on-cash came in at 14%. I knew in 30 seconds it wasn't worth pursuing. That's hours of my life back, every week.

MT
Marcus T. · Austin, TX
Searching: Laundromats, $300K-$800K SDE

I sorted the whole marketplace by BizScout Score on a Tuesday morning. Had three qualified leads by noon. One is in due diligence now, a $1.8M HVAC business in Boulder. I haven't found anything else that ranks deals this honestly.

PR
Priya R. · Denver, CO
Searching: HVAC + plumbing, $1M-$3M SDE

I messaged a business owner directly through BizScout. No broker filtering. He called me back the same afternoon. We're now in due diligence on a $920K commercial cleaning company. That conversation never happens on the public marketplaces.
