Adjusted EBITDA$709,800
Seller stated$770,800
CHECK
EBITDA overstated about 8%: a tax line added back that should not apply on a pass-through.
GOOD
Priced at 2.60× SDE versus a 4.75× market median, a real discount.
Two tools, one deal
Screen every deal free. Go to the books on the one you’ll buy.
Princely works at the two moments that decide a deal: a fast read on every candidate before you commit, then a full verification once one reaches LOI and the data room opens.
Stage 1 · before LOIFree

What ties out, what is overstated, and what to question, in plain language with the math shown.

Verify before LOI
A diligence checklist built from the exact issues in your deal, so nothing slips through.
Built to be trusted
Why you can trust the numbers.
You are about to spend real money on what these numbers say. Princely is built so the output is defensible: the math is deterministic, your data stays private, and the tool is clear about where it stops and a CPA begins.
The engine does the math
The AI only reads the raw figures. A deterministic engine computes and cross-checks every number, and anything that does not cross-foot is flagged, not computed on.
Findings, not a black box
Every flag traces back to the line items it came from. No opaque 0–100 score to argue with, just what is real and what to verify.
Your data stays private
Financials are read in real time and never stored on our servers. Saved reports live only in your browser.
Honest about its limits
A preliminary screen and a full Quality of Earnings, not a CPA attestation. Verify with a licensed CPA before closing.

Stage 2 · at LOI
When the deal gets real, go to the books.
The free screen reads the seller’s CIM. Once you sign an LOI and the data room opens, a full Quality of Earnings rebuilds earnings from the source records, the bank statements, the general ledger, and the filed tax returns, and reconciles all three against each other.
$149 per report, about 1% of a $6,000–$25,000 CPA quality of earnings.
What a full QoE tests
Procedure 01Proof of cash
Reconciles reported revenue and expenses to bank activity, month by month, and surfaces unexplained variances above a clear materiality threshold. Earnings get confidence only when the bank activity, receivables, and records support them.
Procedure 02Three-way tie-out
Reconciles the internal books against the filed tax returns and the bank statements, showing where they agree, where they break, and what needs verification.
Procedure 03Add-backs, tested
Every owner add-back surfaced and judged: which are genuinely one-time and which are recurring costs dressed up as adjustments. Yours to confirm before they reach the multiple.
Procedure 04Working-capital peg
Calculates the normal working capital the buyer should require at close, then shows any shortfall versus what the seller plans to leave.
Procedure 05True cost of the deal
Identifies debt-like obligations and working-capital shortfalls so you negotiate the real economic price, not just the headline asking price.

Step 1 · the deal
First, the deal.
Two quick terms set the earnings basis and the entry multiple. The source documents come next, one at a time.
Earnings basis
SDE adds back your full owner salary (you run it); EBITDA deducts a market manager's pay (you hire one). Defaulted by deal size, change it if you'll run it differently. Built for deals up to $10M.
Upload the bank statements.
The trailing 12 months, every account the business runs through. This powers proof of cash: checking the cash that actually moved against the books.
Drop bank statements, or click to choose

Add the general ledger.
A QuickBooks export, a GL detail, or the internal income statement. This is where adjusted earnings and the owner add-backs come from.
Drop the GL / QuickBooks export, or click

Add the tax returns.
The most recent filed business return. It is the third leg of the tie-out and the figure a lender trusts most.
