W-2 replacement screener

Keep the job.
Own the business.

Score a listing for owner-independence, cash after a real manager, and whether it can replace a paycheck without you becoming the operator.

What it actually scores

Seven categories. One integer. Blanks count against you on purpose.

  1. 01Owner independence — can it run without you?25
  2. 02Financial quality — cash vs your monthly target20
  3. 03Financing & risk — coverage after debt20
  4. 04Durability — concentration + recurring revenue15
  5. 05Personal fit — hours you still have to work10
  6. 06Growth5
  7. 07Exit multiple5

Simple calls

  • Don't buy — cash fails after replacement/debt
  • Hmm — investigate — maybe, dig deeper
  • Promising — dig deeper — strong on paper, not a buy order

Main Bank/SBA loan amount is auto-calculated (project − down payment − seller note). Pure SBA: set seller financing to 0.

What this is not

  • Not a bank yes. Not SBA eligibility. Not an LOI.
  • Not a live CIM scraper — you type what the broker claims.
  • Phase 1 stores access only in your browser (no account server yet).
  • Educational screening only — not lending, tax, or investment advice.
