How BizMatch works

Three minutes of questions, a real scoring engine, and a report that explains itself. Here’s exactly what happens under the hood.

  1. 1

    You answer 21 questions about you

    Not trivia — your work history, real budget, weekly hours, how you feel about selling, managing, and physical work. The first questions are open text on purpose: your own words carry more signal than any checkbox, and they show up in your report's reasoning.

  2. 2

    Your zip code pulls in local market context

    Business ownership is local. We layer estimated market data for your area — business density, income levels, competition context — into both the scoring and your report, so a match makes sense where you actually live.

  3. 3

    Our engine scores every model against your answers

    Each business model has a fit profile: capital required, hours demanded, sales intensity, physical load, team needs, AI leverage. Your answers are scored against every profile — budget mismatches get penalized, skill alignments get rewarded — and the models are ranked 0–100.

  4. 4

    AI writes your report around the scores

    The scores come from the deterministic engine; the explanation comes from frontier AI that reads your actual answers. That's why your report quotes you back — 'you said you run crews and vendor logistics' — instead of reading like a template.

  5. 5

    You get a plan, not just a verdict

    Members see the full report: top 5 matches with cost and revenue ranges, local market analysis, a 90-day launch plan sized to your hours, and the AI toolset that cuts your startup cost. Plus the launch library — courses and checklists for whatever you start.

Our honesty policy

Cost and revenue figures in reports are educational estimates built from operator-reported ranges — not promises, and not financial advice. Market figures for your zip are estimates we’re continuously improving with better data sources. We’d rather under-promise than juice the numbers: you’re making real decisions with this.
