MBA-AMERICA
M&A DUE DILIGENCE
Don’t gamble.
Know what you’re buying.
Independent M&A due diligence for people buying a business. We tell you what the numbers really say, before you commit.
Why MBA-America
Most private-company numbers arrive unverified. We fix that.
Owner-prepared financials come with disclaimers, not assurances. We do the independent digging so you know exactly what you’re acquiring.
We work only for the buyer
Independent and objective. Our only job is to protect the person writing the check.
We surface what a seller won’t
Unaudited, owner-prepared numbers get verified, reconstructed, and pressure-tested.
Strictly confidential
Everything you share stays private, and is destroyed at the end of the engagement unless you direct otherwise.
Our Process
We tell you what the numbers really say.
Every engagement follows the same disciplined path. How deep we go is set by the package you choose.
PHASE 1
Verify the Foundation
We confirm the business is what the seller says it is, reviewing 3 years of tax returns, financials, the general ledger, and platform data.
PHASE 2
Value the Business
We dig into the numbers to establish what the business is truly worth: add-backs, working capital, profitability, and an internal valuation.
PHASE 3
Challenge & Resolve
We pressure-test the findings, raising every question, gap, or disconnect and resolving them until the numbers hold up.
PHASE 4
Transition & Close
We support a clean handoff, affirming your plan and projections, then help you drive the deal to the finish line.

About Us
Institutional rigor, right-sized for the deals that matter to you.
MBA-America (Micro Business Analysts) is an independent due diligence firm for people buying small and lower-middle-market businesses. We work only for the buyer, and our job is simple: make sure you know exactly what you’re buying before you commit.
Most private businesses come to the table with unaudited, owner-prepared financials. We verify them independently, reconstruct the earnings, test the value, and surface the risks a seller won’t volunteer, then deliver it in plain English rather than a data dump.
Based in Houston, Texas, every engagement is strictly confidential. At its conclusion, the information you share is destroyed unless you direct otherwise.
