Built by — by acquisition professionals who were tired of managing multiple deals across spreadsheets, broker sites, and a CRM that wasn't built for the job.

The Problem

Your deal stack is five tools.
It should be one.

Broker sites. Inbox threads. Spreadsheets. Generic CRMs. Homemade models. Every piece lives somewhere different, and you're the integration layer. It's costing you deals and burning your time.

Fragmented Sources

Broker sites, email blasts, referrals, off-market outreach. Each source lives in its own tab with its own login. Your best deals come from relationships, not listing sites, and right now there's no single place to manage any of it.

Thesis in Your Head

Your acquisition criteria live in your head, not in software. Every deal gets evaluated informally, inconsistently, from memory. Good deals get buried under volume.

Tools Built for Sales, Not Acquisitions

Traditional CRMs are built around a sales pipeline: lead to close. Acquisition search is a fundamentally different workflow with different stages, different data, and different relationships. A repurposed sales tool just doesn't cut it.

Analysis Takes Days, Not Minutes

Every promising deal triggers the same ritual: pull the CIM, build a model from scratch, stress-test the DSCR, format it for your lender. By the time you've modeled three deals, four more have landed. The bottleneck isn't sourcing. It's analysis.

Core Platform

One platform. Every workflow.
Zero copy-paste.

3,000+ Listings, Pre-Scored Daily

One consolidated feed of active listings from 100+ brokers. Every deal scored to your thesis before you click in, refreshed every morning.

searchport.ai/feed

Every Deal Scored to Your Thesis

Define your acquisition criteria once. SearchPort grades every deal it sees on a 0 to 100 match score, with hard gates that filter out the non-starters automatically.

Every account gets a dedicated @searchport.ai inbox. Forward any CIM, broker blast, or term sheet and the AI files it, extracts the data, and updates the right record.

A structured AI breakdown of the deal itself, drawn from every record connected to it. Paired with an independent industry and market read, then synthesized so you see how it all fits together.

Your Proactive Intelligence Feed

Beacon works while you don't. It reviews your pipeline overnight, scans the feed, checks your models, and surfaces what matters by morning.

searchport.ai/beacon
The AI Difference

Meet Beacon: an AI that actually
knows your deals.

Most platforms bolt a chatbot onto a database. SearchPort was built differently. Every entity, every workflow, every data point is accessible to Beacon, an agent that understands the full picture of your search.

Full Context Awareness

It knows everything you know.

Beacon has live access to your entire platform: pipeline deals, financial models, contacts, companies, email threads, your acquisition thesis, and your full history.

Beacon — Peachtree HVAC
Compare Peachtree HVAC to the last three HVAC deals I passed on.
Peachtree scores 81 vs. your three HVAC passes (avg. 54). Key edge: 68% recurring revenue vs. 41%, DSCR of 1.42x vs. 1.08x, and confirmed 90-day transition. All three passes had single-owner risk.

Read and Write Access

It doesn't just answer. It acts.

Tell Beacon to log a call, update a deal status, draft a follow-up, adjust your acquisition criteria, or build a financial model from a CIM.

Beacon — Pipeline
Log a call with James Wilson regarding seller transition timeline. Set a follow-up for next Tuesday.
Done. Call logged to James Wilson (Coastal Deal Partners), linked to Peachtree HVAC. Note: “Owner confirmed 90-day transition.” Follow-up set for Tuesday, April 21.

SBA & SMB Intelligence

Trained on what matters to you.

Beacon is trained on SBA 7(a) and 504 lending guidelines, acquisition best practices, deal structures, and valuation benchmarks. Ask about DSCR requirements, seller note standby periods, or working capital pegs and get real, sourced answers.

Beacon — SBA Lending
What's the minimum DSCR my lender will accept on an SBA 7(a) for this deal?
SBA minimum is 1.15x DSCR for 7(a) loans (SOP 50 10 v8, June 2025). Your model shows 1.42x — a 17% EBITDA drop hits the floor. Most lenders require at least 1.25x. Want the full sensitivity matrix?

Manage Your Entire Search from One Conversation.

SearchPort's AI is a context-aware operator, not a search bar. It can do anything you can do in the platform, faster, from a single chat window.

"What's the status of my pipeline? Which deals need attention this week?"
Pipeline summary with prioritized action items, flagging 4 deals with overdue follow-ups and 2 with stale status.
"What happens to DSCR if revenue drops 10% on the Peachtree model?"
Real-time sensitivity on your actual model: DSCR drops from 1.42x to 1.27x — still above the 1.15x SBA floor, but individual lenders often require 1.25x or higher. Showing full sensitivity matrix.
"Have I seen any HVAC deals in Georgia in the last 6 months?"
Cross-references pipeline history and deal feed: 7 HVAC deals in Georgia found. 3 passed, 1 active (Peachtree), 3 from the feed you haven't reviewed.

Built-In Expertise

An AI that knows SBA lending
as well as you do. Maybe better.

SearchPort's AI draws on a curated knowledge base of SBA 7(a) and 504 lending guidelines, SME deal structuring norms, valuation benchmarks, and acquisition best practices. It's not a generic chatbot — it's a specialist.

"What's the required standby period for a seller note on an SBA 7(a) deal?"
Under SOP 50 10 v8 (effective June 2025), a seller note used as equity must be on full standby for the entire life of the SBA loan — no principal or interest payments until the 7(a) loan is fully retired. Interest may accrue and is paid off after the SBA loan closes out. A separate rule: a seller note must be current and active (not on standby) for at least 24 months before it can be refinanced into a new SBA loan. These are two different provisions — the standby for equity is the full loan term, not 24 months.
"What multiple should I expect for a $2M revenue HVAC company in the Southeast?"
For HVAC businesses (NAICS 238220) in the $2M revenue range, typical SDE multiples run 2.5–3.5x and EBITDA multiples 4–5.5x. Recurring service contract revenue, owner-independence, and technician tenure are the primary premium drivers. Southeast deals trend slightly below national averages due to market fragmentation.
"What equity injection does the SBA require on a business acquisition?"
Under SOP 50 10 v8, a complete change of ownership requires a minimum 10% equity injection from the buyer based on total project cost. A seller note on full standby for the entire life of the SBA loan can satisfy up to half of that requirement, leaving as little as 5% in cash. Lenders typically layer their own overlay and ask for more, especially from first-time buyers without deep operating experience.
"What DSCR does my lender need to see?"
The SBA floor under SOP 50 10 v8 is 1.15x DSCR (OCF ÷ total debt service). For Peachtree HVAC at your current model assumptions, you're showing 1.42x — comfortably above the SBA minimum. Keep in mind most lenders apply their own overlay of 1.25x or higher, so that's the practical target. If revenue declines 10%, your model projects 1.27x — above both floors, but worth flagging in your lender conversation.

"My days were spent jumping between broker websites, doing my own outreach, logging it all by hand, building financial models from scratch, and running quick math on the side just to see if a deal was even bankable. I was spending more time chasing information than evaluating deals on their merit. Closing the deal is really just the starting line. The real challenge is operating the business. We built Searchport so acquirers can get through the search phase as efficiently as possible and focus their energy where it actually matters."
