Know the numbers. Structure the deal. Close with confidence.
Most buyers overpay, miss critical risks, or watch the deal collapse before close.

This isn't software built by engineers who read about acquisitions. Every stage of Tether came from real deals — the mistakes, the near-misses, and the systems developed over $60M+ in closed transactions.
The hard truth
Business acquisitions fail in three predictable ways. If you're going into a deal without a system for each one, you're exposed.
Sellers run personal expenses through the business. Family on payroll. Personal vehicles. Vacations as travel. Without a proper quality of earnings analysis, buyers take the P&L at face value — and massively overpay for a business that doesn't earn what it claims.
Most buyers guess at valuation. They anchor to the asking price instead of the real market multiple. They structure deals the seller wants, not deals that work for them. A bad offer or a bad structure can cost you hundreds of thousands before you even close.
Due diligence is where acquisitions die. Buyers get overwhelmed, miss critical items, let deadlines slip. Attorneys, brokers, and advisors operate in silos. Things fall through the cracks. The seller gets nervous. The deal collapses — and the buyer loses their legal fees, their time, and their momentum.
Tether is built to prevent all three.
One platform. Three tools. The complete acquisition system.
The acquisition system
From finding the right target to closing the deal — every stage of the acquisition process in one system. Built by an operator who has closed $60M+ in acquisitions.
Most buyers wait for deals to come to them through brokers. Tether's sourcing tool lets you go find them. Search by industry and radius, get up to 15 real businesses with owner info, contact details, ratings, and acquisition signals — all in one search.

Before you can know what a business is worth, you need to know what it actually earns. The Financial Normalizer uploads the seller's P&Ls and uses AI to map every line item, identify owner add-backs, and show you the real adjusted SDE — the number your lender will use to underwrite your loan.
AI mapping complete · 3 years · 4 add-backs found
Once you know the real earnings, find out what the business is worth and what you should offer. The Deal Analyzer gives you a market-benchmarked multiple, a recommended offer range, and a full financing model — SBA loan, seller note, monthly cash flow, and a 5-year forecast — so you never walk into a negotiation guessing.
Most buyers evaluate deals one at a time. Tether's pipeline dashboard puts every opportunity side by side — SDE, multiple, DSCR, IRR, offer range — so you can see at a glance which deal is worth pursuing. When you're ready to move forward, one click pushes it into due diligence.

Going under contract is when most deals die. The Deal Execution workspace gives you a pre-built checklist for every phase of the process, keeps your attorney, broker, advisor, and ops team aligned in one place, and automatically sends a weekly progress report to everyone — so nothing falls through and no one has an excuse not to know where the deal stands.

Built by someone who has done it
Tether was built by an operator who has personally closed over $60M in acquisitions and funded $20M+ in SBA loans through Live Oak Bank. Every tool, every task, every flag in the system came from a real deal — the mistakes, the near-misses, and the systems built to prevent them.
“My father spent a 40-year career as a transaction attorney. I grew up learning that in acquisitions, the downside isn't just losing money — it's losing everything. I've seen people overpay, miss critical risks, lose deals, and in the worst cases, lose their homes. That risk-awareness is in my DNA. I built Tether after working on hundreds of deals, compounding everything I've learned, with one goal: no one defaults.”
