How It Works

From a listing URL to a deal you can actually fund

Four steps, on any listing you can reach on the public web.

You bring the listing

Any public URL. An Acquire.com teaser, a Flippa page, a Microns listing, a broker one-pager, a founder's tweet. You do not need an account anywhere, and we do not hold a copy of anyone's marketplace.

The deal scan

Eleven disqualifying gates, then a hundred-point scorecard weighted toward retention, normalised profit and low owner dependency rather than a headline growth rate. Every figure is tagged verified, claimed or unknown.

The capital stack

Ten structures, filled in order of how little of your own cash each takes, each trimmed to what the business can actually service. If the stack cannot cover the price, it says so and names the gap.

The plan and the prompts

Outreach through to close, with what the seller has to agree to at each step, and every step written as an instruction you hand to your own AI agent.

Three numbers that never get buried

Burying these inside a score is how people buy badly, so they always sit on their own.

Owner hours a week

What running it actually costs you, after the transition, honestly estimated.

Cash payback period

Total acquisition cost divided by monthly adjusted profit, in months.

Probability-adjusted downside

The worst plausible outcome times its rough odds, including resale value.

What we are not

A guide, not an adviser. ZeroAcquire is not a lender, broker, financial adviser or law firm, and nothing here is financial, legal or tax advice. Where you will need a professional, we say so and point at what the industry publishes, without recommending anyone. We never invent a lender's terms: where a number is not published, the structure is reported as unpriceable with the exact figures it needs from you. See what providers publish.
