Plain answers before you use DealsVector.

No. DealsVector does not own marketplace inventory, sell businesses, control seller relationships, negotiate transactions, provide escrow, or replace source marketplaces.

No. Source marketplaces retain listing ownership, seller relationships, transaction processes, negotiation, and completion workflows.

No. DealsVector classifies opportunities against your stated criteria and evidence gaps. It does not tell you that a business is objectively good or that you should buy it.

Current live coverage comes from governed source inventory where access and customer-facing use are permitted. Other sources may be registered without live ingestion and are not counted as current inventory until a governed adapter is active.

Yes. DealsVector is research support. Buyers remain responsible for independent financial, legal, operational, technical, tax, and commercial diligence before making acquisition decisions.

The free screen answers: "I have £X, what can I actually buy?" It shows supported factual listings, exact matches, evidence gaps, and source marketplace links without requiring payment.

Radar V1 lets a buyer follow saved Explore criteria after email verification. It alerts on new FIT results and changed listings that become FIT results. Unchanged listings, removed listings, and evidence gaps do not alert by default.

Buyer Lens is an internal experimental interpretation capability. It is not a public launch product unless the site later offers a complete buyer journey for it.

Mandate Desk is a paid service: one documented, human-supervised screen of supported current listings against a confirmed buyer mandate.

You receive the reviewed opportunity set, Pass Log, shortlist where applicable, source links, evidence labels, concise candidate notes, decision bottleneck, and verification questions.

General-purpose tools can help analyse an individual listing. DealsVector's workflow uses persisted governed inventory, structured criteria, source provenance, repeatable screening, and a Radar lifecycle for saved screens. The distinction is process control across the supported opportunity set, not opposition to AI tools.

You can browse source marketplaces directly. DealsVector applies your criteria consistently across supported current listings, preserves source handoff, and records what failed, what survived, and what remained unresolved.

Current live coverage is limited to sources with governed inventory access and permitted customer-facing use. Registered sources without live ingestion are shown internally as registered / no live ingestion rather than being counted as active inventory.

A sparse or empty shortlist is a valid outcome. DealsVector does not manufacture a result when supported inventory does not satisfy your criteria; you still receive the screened opportunity set, rejection reasons, evidence-insufficient cases, and the decision logic behind the result.

No. DealsVector provides acquisition research and triage. It is not investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, broker representation, financial verification, valuation certification, or a purchase recommendation.

No. Mandate Desk is a fixed-price research service. DealsVector does not act as a broker or seller representative for this service.

No. Mandate Desk is a £249 one-off service. No subscription or ongoing plan is created.

No. £249 buys one defined Mandate Desk screen at one defined point in time. Automated ongoing monitoring is not part of the launch service.

No. Filtering, search order, exact-match logic, near-match logic, and fit classification remain independent of referral relationships.

DealsVector may earn a referral commission if you complete a qualifying transaction through some approved marketplace links. Referral attribution does not change the price of Mandate Desk, buyer-side screening logic, or marketplace destination.

No. Sources and commercial partners are separate. DealsVector may track inventory from a source without an active commercial relationship, and pending or disabled programmes are not described as active partners.

FIT means available source evidence satisfies the stated screening criteria. It is not investment approval, financial verification, or advice to buy. Source facts, DealsVector calculations, mandate interpretations, inferences, and unknowns are separated.

You submit your mandate first, then review the summary. Payment is taken through Stripe Checkout only after that review step.

Stripe webhook verification marks payment as received. You receive a confirmation page and, where transactional email is enabled, a confirmation email. DealsVector then begins the screen.

V1 delivery is email-based: the completed screen is sent to the submitted email address as an attachment or secure link, with the order reference included.

Contact support@dealsvector.com with the order reference. Delivery marks completion of the purchased Mandate Desk service, but support remains available for unclear points and statutory rights are unaffected.
