The operating system for Main Street M&A
CandaceAI centralizes valuation, listings, diligence, and closing into one secure, auditable system so advisors, owners, and buyers can run serious deals with confidence.
Small business transactions are still run on fragmented tools
Pricing without a shared source of truth
Misaligned expectations and subjective pricing stall deals before they get serious.
Critical files and messages scattered everywhere
Email threads, spreadsheets, and folders create risk, missed steps, and compliance exposure.
It's hard to know who to trust
Shaky listings, anonymous profiles, and no clear history mean you waste time on tire-kickers while worrying about fraud and bad actors.
A smarter way to run a small business transaction
CandaceAI replaces informal workflows with a structured, end to end transaction system.
One secure deal workspace
Manage listings, buyers, diligence, communication, and closing from a single controlled environment.
Data driven valuation and guidance
Use valuation tools and expert informed frameworks to anchor conversations in reality, not guesswork.
Verified participants and clean execution
Profiles, permissions, messaging, and escrow support ensure you work only with serious counterparties.
For owners, buyers, and independent advisors
Small business owners getting ready to sell
Use guided onboarding, valuation tools, secure deal rooms, and standard legal templates to price your business, share files, and work with serious buyers without giving up control of your sale.
Entrepreneurs and buyers hunting for the right deal
Browse vetted listings, check verified profiles and reputation scores, ask smarter questions with AI help, and run diligence, offers, and escrow in one place so you focus on the best opportunities.

Run every small business deal in one trusted workspace

Before Candace, we burned so much time toggling between spreadsheets, email threads, and data rooms just to push one deal forward. Now, our deal files, NDAs, valuations, and conversations all live in one place. My team actually gets to focus on helping clients, not chasing files.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is CandaceAI for?
CandaceAI is built for three groups of people. If you are a small business owner who wants to sell, an entrepreneur or buyer looking to acquire a business, or an independent M&A advisor, you can use CandaceAI to handle your whole deal in one place.
How is CandaceAI different from other business-for-sale sites?
Most listing sites just post ads and leave you on your own. CandaceAI gives you a full deal workspace with pricing help, secure document sharing, clear message history, and safer payments. You also get AI support plus real experts you can talk to when you need help.
How does the AI actually help me?
You can use the AI to estimate a fair price, write or polish your listing, screen buyers or deals, create checklists, and draft messages and basic legal docs like LOIs. It keeps you moving and cuts down on the boring work so you can focus on real deal decisions.
Is CandaceAI safe for serious deals?
Yes. You keep your files, messages, and key terms inside secure deal rooms instead of random email threads. Buyers and sellers can verify profiles, see reputation scores, and use escrow so money only moves when both sides agree to the terms.
I have never sold or bought a business before. Will I get guidance?
Yes. You walk through guided steps to get your business ready to list or to review a deal as a buyer. The platform gives you templates, checklists, and plain language tips. If you get stuck, you can reach out to the advisor community or on-call experts for extra help.
How do I get started and what does it cost?
You can create an account, answer a few questions about your role, and start by valuing a business or browsing deals. Pricing is flexible, with plans for solo owners, active buyers, and advisors. You only pay full-service help if you choose it.
