Everything the search needs, none of the seller fees
Most listing sites are built to get sellers and brokers paid, and you’re the traffic. numanknows is built the other way around: every feature exists to help you find, evaluate, and close, with nothing on the platform pulling in a different direction.
A workspace, not a marketplace
A marketplace makes money from listing fees and broker commissions, so its incentive is to maximize inventory and traffic, not to help any one buyer close. numanknows doesn’t list businesses for sellers and doesn’t take a commission on your deal. The subscription is the entire business model, so the product’s only job is helping you get from a cold search to a closed acquisition.
An AI agent that works the deal alongside you
numan isn’t a chatbot bolted onto a listings site. It’s grounded in every document, note, and signal attached to your deal, and it stays with you from the first look at a listing through negotiation, diligence, and the weeks after close. It doesn’t decide for you, but it makes sure you’re never evaluating a deal alone.
A deal chat that’s read everything
Every tracked deal gets its own chat grounded in that deal’s documents, listing facts, and scorecard. Ask free-form questions, or have it review an NDA, LOI, or draft contract against the deal before you sign.
AI scoring against your full buy box
numan reads a listing the way a buyer would and returns a tier, a score, and a plain-English explanation with citations back to the source, including the goals and dealbreakers a checklist can’t weigh.
A leverage brief before the broker call
Where the ask sits against comps, what the listing leaves out, and what the broker is paid to do, turned into talking points you can bring to the conversation.
Closing help that doesn’t stop at diligence
Once a deal is headed toward close, numan builds a closing checklist and a 30/60/90 day plan grounded in that deal’s facts, not boilerplate advice.
Built for every stage of the search
Search once, not everywhere
Listings from broker sites and marketplaces, plus your own off-market finds, land in one search, with daily alerts when something new fits your buy box.
Your walk-away number
The buy-signal scorecard grades every listing with deterministic SBA math, then works out the highest price the deal can carry and still clear every financing test after your salary.
Comps on every listing
See where the asking multiple sits against comparable listings in the same sector and size band, so a high ask is a question you raise, not a surprise you find later.
A pipeline built for acquisitions
Stages that match how a real deal moves (first look, outreach, diligence, close) instead of a sales CRM repurposed for something it wasn’t built for.
Diligence that teaches as you go
Each checklist item explains what it is, how to get it, what a red flag looks like, and which professional to bring in. Teams can save their own checklist as a template.
Financing guidance built in
Understand SBA eligibility as part of evaluating a deal, and track your pre-qualification with each lender in one place.
Advisors, ranked by fit
Find buyer-side lenders, CPAs, and attorneys, with buyer reviews that stay up even when they’re negative. Any sponsored slot is labeled and never touches your analysis.
A guide for first-time buyers
A six-phase learning hub covering sourcing, financing, negotiation, diligence, closing, and your first months as an owner, written for people who’ve never done this before.
Extension, MCP, and API
Capture listings with the browser extension, work from Claude or ChatGPT over MCP, or build on the REST API. Included on every plan, not held back for an enterprise tier.
Built for buyers. Not sellers.
No listing fees, no seller tools, no commission on your deal. Your pipeline stays private to your team, and you can export your data or delete your account from Settings whenever you choose.
