Profile

I'm building an open, verifiable record of businesses for sale in the US. Think EDGAR for Main Street. The problem: ~7,500 business brokers each maintain their own listings on their own websites. There's no central registry, no standardized data, and no way to audit what's actually on the market. The same listing might appear on 4 different sites. A business that sold 6 months ago can still show as "available." DealLedger scrapes 1,700 broker websites daily using a combination of specialized scrapers for major franchise networks and ML-based pattern detection for the long tail. Every listing is source-linked, timestamped, and hashed. Snapshots are committed to GitHub daily. It's not a market

DealLedger – An open ledger of every business for sale in America is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
