How It Works

01 — OBSERVE

Collect + normalize

Listings collected daily from major business marketplaces and 1,700+ individual broker websites. Two sources, one ledger.

02 — TIMESTAMP

Recover listing dates

Marketplaces hide listing dates. We recover estimated listing dates using a proprietary methodology. Mean error: ±12 days.

03 — TRACK

Append-only history

Every listing change is recorded. Removals, relists, price changes — nothing is overwritten or deleted.

04 — MEASURE

Liquidity intelligence

Days on market, zombie rate, disappearance detection, state-level liquidity index. Published monthly in the SMB Liquidity Report.

Principles

Source-linked. Every record links back to its original source listing.

Timestamped. First seen, last seen, and every change in between.

Documented. The methodology is public. Every field is defined.

Append-only. We do not edit history. Removals are recorded, not deleted.

No opinions. We do not rank brokers. We publish what we observe.

About DealLedger

The problem: There is no public registry for small business transactions. The same listing appears across multiple sites, listing dates are hidden, and inventory numbers are inflated by stale and zombie listings. The market is opaque by design.

What this is: DealLedger is an open public ledger for businesses for sale. We collect listings from major marketplaces and broker websites, recover listing dates through our proprietary methodology, and publish everything as open data.

What this isn't: We don't rank listings. We don't recommend brokers. We don't capture leads. We don't broker deals. This is a record, not a marketplace.

How it works: Two data layers — marketplace listings (40k+ records, daily updates) and broker-direct listings from 1,700+ broker sites. The methodology is documented. Anyone can verify what we observe.
