The right buyer. The right price. A sale built to close.
A guided walkthrough of how we prepare your business for sale, then run a controlled, competitive process at the top.
Every month you wait is profit leaking, valuation drifting and visibility lost. The earlier you start, the more the number moves. Most of the work runs in the background.
Both tools are free, separate, no obligation. About a minute each. Onboarding asks four to six hours of your time, total.
Eight stops. Tap any one to look inside.
The first three are free. Phase 1 and 2 are a fixed-fee preparation that you keep, sale or no sale. Phase 2 starts only when you choose, and is success fee only, no retainer, no lock-in.
Total founder time across Phase 1: roughly 8 to 12 hours.
Enter your company website at dealflowagent.com/valuation. In about a minute you get an indicative value, drawn from real comparable transactions in your sector. No cost, no obligation, ever.
We read your public footprint and your sector, match it against historical deals and current sector multiples, and return an indicative range with the comparables it is built on.
An evidenced indicative value, in writing, before you speak to anyone.
A traditional advisor will not value you until you are signed up and paying. This is free and immediate.
Type your valuation. Watch each step move it.
Phase 1 (onboarding, diagnostic, Second Brain, AI agents) runs in just three months and materially lifts the number — whether you sell straight after or hold for another year or two.

Optional. Pre-tax only — UK CGT, BADR and structure are a separate conversation with your tax advisor.
What this chart shows and doesn't. The +36% comes from two things the chart can draw: a prepared business (Phase 1+2) and competing offers (Phase 3). What it can't draw is your trading growth — if your revenue and profit are materially higher in 12–18 months, the prepared and competitive sale starts from a higher base and the uplift compounds on top.
What waiting alone doesn't fix. Selling as-is in 12 months, without the prep and without competing offers, typically lands closer to the dashed line: trading uplift only, one buyer setting the price. Time on its own doesn't deliver the multiple. Preparation and competition do.
What if you went with a traditional generalist broker instead?
Flip the toggle. Same eight stops, very different ride.
Both routes end with your business sold. One ends with the right buyer, competing offers, and a number you would not have reached on your own.
End-to-end M&A process, from outreach to buyers. Found nowhere else.

Two months with us. Then it's your call.
Stage 1 deal room and multi-channel outreach run on top of the prepared business. Unlock the full +36%.
Implement the diagnostic action points, let the AI agents settle, watch margin and EBITDA compound. Come back when you're ready — no retainer during the pause. The +13% from Phases 1 & 2 is yours either way.
Still worth doing Phases 1 & 2. You keep the diagnostic, the IM draft, the buyer list, the Second Brain and the AI agents. The uplift sticks — and the day you change your mind, you're ready.
Whatever you pick, the first two months are the lever. The pause is the flex — you don't have to commit to a sale to get the value of the preparation.
UK and US. Backed by early investors in Uber, SpaceX, Canva, Notion and Loom.
Preparation work is a fixed fee, agreed in writing. Phase 2 is success fee only, no retainer, no exclusivity, no lock-in.
