WhatBiz

The method

From listings to a decision you can defend

Most marketplaces stop at search. WhatBiz scores, analyzes and compares so you know why an opportunity is right for you.

    Decide: buy or build

    Compare acquiring cash flow today against starting from scratch, using the same capital and a five-year horizon.

    Compare both paths

WhatBiz scores, valuations and analyses are educational decision-support models built from listing-provided data. They are not appraisals, offers, or financial advice.

Common questions

What is the WhatBiz Score?
A 0-100 score combining profitability, valuation fairness, stability, owner dependency, growth headroom and AI disruption risk. It measures fit for your profile, not general quality.
Do I need a Buyer DNA profile to use the tools?
No. The analyzer, valuation estimator and buy-vs-build comparison work standalone. A profile adds personalised match percentages across the marketplace.
Are the numbers financial advice?
No. Every output is an educational decision-support model built from the figures you or a listing provide. Confirm anything material with an accountant, lender or advisor.
Is my data stored on a server?
Your profile and saved analyses are kept in your browser so you can leave and come back without creating an account.
