The rule this read lives under: it is education from the buyer’s chair, built from what you typed, unverified. Your attorney, your CPA, and your own eyes on the books make every real decision. We are not a broker, and nothing here arranges or negotiates a transaction.

This is education, not legal, tax, or financial advice. The Deal Check produces a general educational read from the numbers you enter, without verifying them. It is not a valuation, an appraisal, or an offer, and it does not create any professional relationship. Own Yourself Now is not a business broker; we do not represent buyers or sellers, arrange or negotiate transactions, or take commissions. Consult your own licensed professionals before making any decision about a business purchase.
