## About

FirstPass Memo helps buyers screen small online-business listings ($10k–$150k) before they spend money on due diligence.

The free checker runs in your browser. Paste a listing from any marketplace and it reads the asking price, profit, revenue, age and traffic sources, then shows:
- payback in months and the annual profit multiple;
- where that multiple sits against a range of comparable listings;
- the top three red flags, ranked by severity, each tied to the number that triggered it and paired with a question to send the seller.

About 30 plain rules are listed on the page, so you can see why each flag fired. The page's security policy blocks network requests, so the text you paste never leaves your machine.

FirstPass Memo also writes buyer-side first-pass memos; free beta memos are open now for listings between $10k and $150k. Buyer-paid only: no referral fees from marketplaces, brokers or sellers. Informational screening, not advice.
