Phase 1 — Deal Viability Engine
Answer the only question that matters: after purchase costs, debt service, and management expense, how much cash flow remains?
Start with the real cost after purchase price, transfer costs, professional fees, and optional assets.
Separate cash from HELOC/asset leverage because only one is debt-free capital.
Debt is not automatically bad. The burden matters only compared against the cash flow the business produces.
Starting SDE minus each financing obligation equals the cash remaining before optional management.
Score is weighted by remaining cash flow, debt service burden, payback period, cash-on-cash return, GM dependency, and capital structure quality.
Model whether the acquisition can support passive ownership after management costs.
Cumulative cash retained after acquisition financing and optional management costs.
