Question 1

How is the information I submit handled?

Accepted Answer

Your operating figures and contact details are submitted directly to BrindleCap and saved to a confidential seller lead record so the team can connect your result to any follow-up you request. They are not published in a public listing or placed in the URL. Share only information you are comfortable submitting for an initial conversation.

Question 2

How is the indicative value range calculated?

Accepted Answer

The first pass uses transparent heuristics based on the operating inputs you provide: annual revenue, profit, recurring revenue mix, industry, and—when supplied—asking price. It considers both a revenue-based and profit-based basis, applies an industry factor, uses a revenue floor, and presents a range around the resulting midpoint. The intake also captures age, growth, customer concentration, financing feasibility, and owner hours to add context to the follow-up; this is a directional screen, not a full valuation model.

Question 3

What does the 0–100 Acquisition Readiness score mean?

Accepted Answer

The score is a screening signal for how readily the business may support an acquisition conversation. It combines profitability, recurring revenue, owner dependence, business scale, and—if you provide one—how closely the asking price fits the indicative midpoint. A higher score is not a prediction of a sale; it simply suggests more of the qualities buyers often want to examine.

Question 4

Why is the result not an appraisal, offer, or guaranteed sale price?

Accepted Answer

A serious appraisal or transaction opinion requires deeper diligence, financial normalization, market context, and a review of the business and its assets. This result is based on a limited set of self-reported inputs, so it is an indicative range to open a conversation—not an appraisal, an offer to buy, or a guaranteed sale price.

Question 5

What happens after I submit?

Accepted Answer

Your result is shown immediately and saved to a BrindleCap seller lead record. From the results screen, you can optionally request a free Brindle Acquisition Review, or choose the one-time $199 Business Value & Exit Strategy Report for a deeper read on value, transferability, and next steps. Neither option is required to receive the initial result.
