What you can do.

Specific tools for the decisions and follow-through your search depends on.

An offer grounded in a saved scenario

Create an IOI or LOI from saved underwriting. SearchWare locks the scenario used for the offer so the terms retain their analytical basis as the deal develops.

Keep the proposed terms connected to the case you evaluated.

Price and structure reviewed together

Work through price, financing and seller consideration in the offer. Compatibility checks flag structural issues and block identified SBA-incompatible terms before letter generation or sent status.

Review whether the offer as written matches the financing assumptions.

IOI and LOI drafts from your terms

Generate a Word draft using the offer's terms and your firm's letterhead. Required legal fields must be completed before the letter can be recorded as sent.

Reduce the need to re-enter terms into a separate draft.

Revisions and seller responses

Track drafts, sent offers, counters, acceptance, declines, expiry and withdrawal. Prepare a revision while retaining the earlier offer in the deal's history.

Keep a clear record of how the proposed deal changed.

Exclusivity and the diligence handoff

Keep exclusivity dates and a countdown with the opportunity. Recording an accepted LOI prompts the move to Under LOI and the next step of launching a diligence portal.

Make the next deadline and the next phase visible.

NDA drafts under your firm's name

Use your organization's default NDA template or the SearchWare starter. Fill the required fields, review and edit the wording, then save a branded Word draft with its drafting details.

Prepare the agreement while keeping review and wording in your hands.

A focused first pass for counsel

AI legal review can highlight key terms, potential concerns, missing protections and unusual clauses in an NDA, LOI or purchase agreement, with a buyer's list of discussion points.

Bring specific questions to your attorney's review.

Signed evidence and legal follow-ups

Record the signing date and signed copy or execution note. Track follow-up and expiry dates, review document history and use pipeline filters to find agreements that need attention.

Keep the legal milestone and the evidence behind it together.

BEFORE YOU START

The practical questions.

How does an LOI stay connected to underwriting?

An offer starts from a saved, unchanged underwriting scenario, which becomes locked as its analytical basis. The generated letter uses the offer's terms rather than the deal's asking price. If terms change, you can prepare a revision while retaining the earlier offer history.

Can SearchWare draft NDAs and review legal documents?

Yes. You can prepare an NDA using your organization's default template or the starter, review and edit the text, and save a Word draft. AI legal review can surface concerns and discussion points from NDAs, LOIs and purchase agreements. Both support your work with counsel and do not replace legal advice.

Does SearchWare sign the agreement or complete the transaction?

No. SearchWare prepares drafts and tracks the agreement's lifecycle; it does not provide electronic signatures or transfer funds. You record outcomes and execution details, attach a signed copy or execution note, and track the follow-ups and milestones around the transaction.
