About Keysvo

Keysvo is two free worksheets and a paid deal register for the person buying an existing small business in the United States. The worksheets cost a purchase and track a diligence file from the buyer's own figures; the register keeps the targets, offers, documents and lender dates until the keys change hands.

Why this site exists

This site exists because every buyer we know worked the funding stack on the back of a lender's term sheet and chased the seller's documents from memory, and the two mistakes that cost them most, underestimating the cash needed at the keys and finding out in the last week what was never sent, are arithmetic and a list.

Who it is for

The dentist buying a practice or buying in, the first owner buying a laundromat or a restaurant, and the buyer of an established business whose purchase currently lives in a spreadsheet and an inbox

Not sellers, brokers, advisors, lenders, founders raising money, franchise buyers or home buyers, all of whom have other places to go

What it does not do

  • No valuation opinion: it will not tell you what a business is worth, only what your price costs you
  • No lender, broker or seller recommendations, and no commission from any of them
  • No legal or tax advice, and no listings of businesses for sale

What is on this site

2 free tools, each working its figure on the page with no account, and Keysvo Pro that keeps the record. All tools · Pricing.

  • How to buy an existing business with no money: Turn the price, the SBA share, the seller note, working capital and closing costs into the cash you need at the keys, the monthly payment on each note and what the seller's earnings leave you after your own pay, from your own figures.
  • Buying a dental practice checklist: Turn one practice's asking price, collections, patient count and document list into the price ratios, the net income before your pay, the documents still outstanding and the chase rate that closes on time, from the seller's own reports.

What Keysvo Pro keeps

The sheet costs one target today. Pro keeps the targets, the offers, the diligence list and the lender's dates side by side, so the second practice you look at is compared with the first instead of costed from scratch.
