Getting started
No. Start with the opportunity, price and financing, and income and expenses. Choose the optional details you need, then review your inputs. Your plan determines which tools you can use.
It shows which buyer requirements were met, which were missed, what information is missing, the reason for each result, and what to check next. It also connects operating earnings, debt coverage, buyer cash flow, yield, and known purchase cash.
Yes. Create a free account to enter your own opportunity and see its first review before choosing a paid plan.
Create an account, then enter the asking price, financial details, financing, and your requirements.
Understanding the result
A buyer requirement is a financial target, such as minimum monthly cash flow after estimated tax or required loan coverage. You set these targets in Thresholds. Indevest compares the relevant calculated results with the targets used by the analysis.
Met means the calculated result reaches your requirement. Missed means it does not, and Indevest shows the difference. Missing information means an answer cannot be completed until a needed input is supplied.
No. Seller figures and documents remain seller-reported evidence. You are responsible for verifying them during diligence with the records and qualified professionals appropriate for the purchase.
No. A result shows how the entered assumptions compare with your requirements. It is a first review, not a purchase recommendation, appraisal, lender decision, or substitute for diligence.
Yes. Actual DSCR shows whether operating earnings cover debt service. Buyer cash flow shows what remains after debt payments and estimated tax, so the two results can point to different concerns.
Financing, valuation, and metrics
Indicative Valuation estimates value using one selected method. Financing benchmarks separately compare operating earnings with a chosen yield and show the purchase amount that preserves the saved cash-flow target under the financing assumptions.
You choose the multiple or capitalization rate using your research and professional advice. Indevest does not select it or verify a market range. The estimate is not an appraisal or recommended offer.
It compares matching annual measures: SDE with SDE, EBITDA with EBITDA, or NOI with NOI. Each amount keeps its source label. Different or missing measures cannot produce a same-measure difference; Indevest does not verify the figures or calculate add-backs.
Actual DSCR is annual operating earnings divided by annual debt service. It shows how many times operating earnings cover the proposed annual loan payments. With no debt, it is not applicable.
Indevest Cash on Cash divides annual before-estimated-tax cash flow by the entered cash contribution. Inventory, equipment, repairs, opening working capital, real estate, and other purchase cash are shown separately so they are not hidden.
The idea is similar, but the name follows the opportunity. Business reviews use Operating Earnings Yield; income real estate uses CAP Rate based on NOI. Both are before financing and should be reviewed with buyer cash flow and debt coverage.
Saving and comparing
Organize a business as an Opportunity, save analysis paths as Cases, and keep saved changes as numbered Revisions.
Compare aligns compatible saved analyses so you can review the same measures side by side. Compatibility rules keep unlike target contexts from being presented as though they were the same review.
No. Compare shows differences and trade-offs without ranking the opportunities or choosing which business you should buy.
Saving a scenario keeps an alternative price, financing structure or operating assumption separate from the baseline. It changes the saved record only when you choose to promote it.
No. AI explains the saved calculation. KPI values and buyer results continue to come from the financial analysis.
Use the report and export tools in your plan. Review the report before sharing because it can contain opportunity assumptions and seller information.
Plans and accounts
Start free. Use the Pricing page to compare saved volume, tools, seats, and usage limits.
No. The same inputs produce the same core financial results across plans. Plans control access to workflow tools, usage capacity, and team features.
The signed-in plan and billing view shows the limit, reset period, and available plan actions.
Use the signed-in billing and plan controls for the current subscription choices and terms. Contact Billing if a charge, invoice, limit, or plan assignment looks incorrect.
Review the signed-in plan-change details before confirming the change. They show how access, limits, and saved work apply to your account.
Privacy and support
No. The public Help tool answers questions from this FAQ. It cannot see your account, organization, saved opportunities, analyses, or billing details.
Do not send payment card data, regulated personal data, confidential seller documents, private diligence files, or sensitive third-party information. Use signed-in support for account-specific matters.
Choose Sales for plan, seat, or organization questions; Product support for help using Indevest; and Billing for charges, invoices, or plan access. For privacy or legal routing, choose Product support and begin the message with Privacy or Legal.
Visibility depends on the organization role and the visibility selected for the record. Review the signed-in workspace settings and Privacy page before saving or sharing sensitive opportunity information.
