Experienced advisors. Advanced technology. One seamless deal process.
DEALPRINT combines hands-on deal leadership, targeted sourcing, broker relationships, and AI-native technology to help buyers find, evaluate, and close the right opportunities through one coordinated process.
Built for the buyer who's serious about closing
- You're actively searching for a business to own and operate
- You have capital lined up — personal, investor, or SBA-backed
- You want seasoned dealmakers helping you evaluate every opportunity
The DEALPRINT acquisition framework
Three categories that drive our advisory
01 · Financeable
Can this deal actually be financed?
Before anything else, we evaluate the deal the way a lender will. We test whether the earnings are clean, provable, and strong enough to carry debt — so financing is a formality, not a surprise late in the process.
- Cash flow covers debt service with room to spare
- Financials reconcile to tax returns and bank statements
- Add-backs are defensible and documented
- Structure fits SBA and conventional lender guidelines
02 · Buyable
Is this a deal worth buying at this price?
We pressure-test the thesis and the price. DEALPRINT surfaces the risks that move valuation and the evidence behind the earnings, so you know exactly what you are paying for and where the real leverage in negotiation sits.
- Earnings quality and valuation hold up under the evidence
- Market and strategy analysis — how the business is positioned for macro, micro, and local shifts and future earnings, not just historicals
- Material risks are identified, sized, and mitigable
- Deal terms protect against the downside
03 · Ownable
Can you actually own and run it?
A financeable, fairly priced business still has to transfer to you. We evaluate owner dependence, customer and supplier concentration, and the operational handoff — so the business you underwrite is the business you get on day one.
- The business runs without total owner dependence
- Customers, suppliers, and staff are transferable
- Systems and processes survive the transition
- A realistic path to day-one operation exists
Our advisory process
From defining your search through closing the right deal, we combine experienced advice and advanced technology to keep every step coordinated.
Phase 1 · Sourcing
Readiness, Strategy & Search
We help you find the right businesses, not just screen the ones you find.
We translate your goals, experience, capital, and constraints into a clear acquisition strategy — then we go find the businesses, working broker relationships and proactive off-market outreach so you see the right opportunities, not just whatever is already listed.
- Define target industries, size, geography, and ownership role
- Establish realistic price, equity, compensation, and liquidity parameters
- Build a clear buyer mandate to guide the search
- Actively source opportunities through broker relationships and off-market outreach
- Surface off-market businesses that never reach the open market
- Screen every opportunity — sourced or incoming — against your mandate
- Prepare you for more productive broker and seller conversations
Together we design
A clear acquisition mandate and a steady flow of sourced, on-thesis opportunities to evaluate.
Phase 2 · Pre-LOI
Screening, Valuation & Offer
Determine whether the opportunity warrants serious pursuit.
Before you commit significant time or money, we test the business against your mandate and assess whether the proposed transaction can realistically work.
- Normalize earnings and assess seller-proposed add-backs
- Analyze valuation, debt capacity, required equity, and downside coverage
- Evaluate whether the opportunity is Financeable, Buyable, and Ownable
- Identify the material risks and missing evidence
- Establish a supportable valuation range
- Analyze sources and uses and potential financing structures
- Evaluate seller financing, earnouts, working capital, and other proposed terms
- Help you develop an offer framework for review with counsel
- Provide a documented recommendation to advance, pause, proceed subject to conditions, or pass
Culminating in
A defensible view of value, a proposed transaction framework, and a clear advisory recommendation. You make the final decision to submit an offer or continue pursuing the opportunity.
Phase 3 · Post-LOI
Diligence & Close
Run the entire transaction in one place.
Once you are under LOI, your advisors lead diligence inside DEALPRINT's software — our AI-native platform for analyzing evidence, coordinating specialists, and maintaining one live view of the transaction.
- Centralize every document and workstream in one secure deal workspace
- Use AI to surface risks, inconsistencies, and missing support across the data room
- Connect every finding to its source — verified, reported, inferred, or unknown
- Generate and track targeted information requests through completion
- Maintain a living risk register: severity, implications, ownership, and next action
- Keep your CPA, attorney, lender, and insurer aligned on one shared record
- Update valuation, financing, and returns automatically as new information lands
- Track lender requirements, closing conditions, and transition responsibilities to close
- Carry unresolved findings into a Day-One and 30-60-90-day plan
Underpinning the deal
A complete evidence-backed deal record, a coordinated path to close, and the information required to make the final acquisition and risk-acceptance decisions.

You gain

The two people running your deal.
Sebastian Krappe is the Co-Founder and CEO of DEALPRINT, where he works with entrepreneurs navigating the process of buying a small business.
Before starting DEALPRINT, Sebastian worked in investment banking at RBC Capital Markets and private equity at Ardian. During his finance career, he evaluated complex investments, built financial models and valuations, coordinated legal, tax, technical, and commercial advisors, and helped guide transactions through rigorous investment committee processes.
Sebastian founded DEALPRINT because individual buyers are often expected to make life-changing acquisition decisions without the teams, tools, and support available to institutional investors. He now applies that experience to help clients develop a clear acquisition strategy, evaluate opportunities, ask better questions, and move through diligence and closing with greater confidence.
Sebastian earned an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business, where he served as class president, and obtained a BA from Columbia University. Before his finance career, Sebastian captained Columbia's Lightweight Rowing Team and was part of the program's first IRA National Championship winning team.

“DEALPRINT surfaced material risks that I missed in a separate comprehensive review of the same data room, including a multi-million dollar accounting anomaly that could have changed the entire deal thesis.
The platform gives searchers exactly what they need: evidence-backed risk flags, prioritized document requests, and ready-to-use seller questions. I’m using DEALPRINT as my primary due diligence screening tool going forward.”
