CLOSED-DEAL CONTRIBUTIONPRIVATE SESSION

ADMISSION IS NOT AUTOMATIC

A submission is evidence to review—not a benchmark row.

01

Structured validation

Required fields, bounded values, internal consistency, and an account-level duplicate check happen before storage.

02

Evidence review

Records with supporting evidence can be reviewed without putting private documents or identities into the public product.

03

Privacy-safe admission

Only accepted, sanitized facts may enter a future aggregate, and no protected metric appears below its minimum cohort size.

Closed-deal contribution questions

What counts as a closed deal?

A completed US business sale where the contributor knows the reported sale price, trailing annual revenue, and normalized SDE or EBITDA used around closing. Listings, offers, valuations, and asking prices are not closed deals.

Do you publish my transaction?

No individual submission is published. A new submission remains private and pending review. Even an accepted record can inform only an anonymized aggregate that clears the applicable privacy threshold.

What information should I leave out?

Do not provide a company name, buyer or seller name, address, website, exact closing date, document, or narrative description. The form collects only structured transaction facts.

Why ask about inventory, working capital, and seller financing?

Those terms can materially change what a headline sale price represents. Capturing them prevents an asset price, equity price, inventory purchase, earnout, and cash-at-closing amount from being treated as interchangeable.

What do I receive after contributing?

You immediately receive the deal's observed price-to-revenue and price-to-earnings multiples. Sales from the current calendar year or the previous 10 calendar years can also receive the nearest existing privacy-safe cohort when one is available. Your pending deal is excluded from that cohort.
