Australian SMB Deal Intelligence
ThatDeal tracks broker listings, normalises asking prices and profit multiples, builds anonymised comps, and turns promising targets into broker-call intelligence reports.
What the data reveals
Broker sites are fragmented and inconsistent. ThatDeal watches the listing layer daily, extracts the financial signals, and builds anonymised comps you can search before spending time on calls, NDAs, and information memorandums.
| Sector | Region | Asking | Profit | Multiple | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hospitality | Perth Metro | $250K-$750K | Often undisclosed | n/a | Disclosure gap |
| Service | WA / QLD | $500K-$1.5M | $150K-$450K | 2.0-3.5× | Searchable comp |
| Manufacturing | National | $1M-$5M | More likely disclosed | 2.4× median | Benchmarkable |
| Accommodation | Regional | $750K-$3M | Mixed quality | Deal-specific | Needs call |
The dataset tells you what is worth attention. The service layer saves the hours: ThatDeal sends interesting deals, prepares the market context, rings brokers during business hours, and turns the call into a buyer-ready brief.
Saved searches and weekly signals surface sectors, regions, and asking multiples that fit your acquisition thesis.
When a listing clears the first screen, we call during business hours and ask the questions busy buyers do not have time to chase.
Each report combines market comps, disclosure gaps, broker comments, and red/yellow/green flags so you can move forward or move on.
Every broker publishes different information
One listing shows profit, another hides it, another is already sold. Buyers are forced to compare messy fragments.
There is no comps layer for small deals
A $900K Perth service business at 3.4× profit means nothing until you know what similar listings have asked over time.
Calls come too early in the workflow
You should know the benchmark, disclosure gaps, and likely questions before you spend lunch chasing a broker.
"I don't need another listing site. I need to know whether this asking multiple is normal, which brokers hide the numbers, and which deals are worth calling about this week."— Search fund buyer, Australia · $500K-$5M target range
Search the anonymised market first. Shortlist deals with context. Then use broker-call intelligence only when the numbers justify the effort.
Crawlers monitor broker sites, extract price, profit, revenue, multiple, status, source, and disclosure quality, then deduplicate the market into one dataset.
Automated daily
Filter by sector, region, asking band, profit band, multiple, broker source, and listing status without exposing copied broker content publicly.
Market context first
When a deal looks promising, we call the broker, ask the hard questions, compare it against comps, and produce a red/yellow/green buyer brief.
