🏢

Corporate Development Teams

Financial services buyers evaluating IMB acquisitions get structured deal analysis without hiring additional M&A staff or engaging outside advisors for every look.

Risks surfaced before the LOI, not after.

LO Concentration

HIGH

When three loan officers produce 40%+ of volume, you're buying key-person risk. MergerLens quantifies exactly how much revenue walks out the door if they leave, and models realistic attrition scenarios.

Margin Compression

MOD

A declining gain-on-sale trend tells a different story than a point-in-time margin. MergerLens tracks 24-month GOS trends against peer benchmarks and flags where the spread is narrowing.

Geographic Exposure

MOD

Heavy concentration in one state creates regulatory and cyclical market risk. MergerLens maps origination geography and flags over-exposure to any single market or regulatory jurisdiction.

Licensing Complexity

HIGH

State-by-state licensing gaps are a deal-killer that surfaces late. MergerLens cross-references production footprint against active licenses so you know the compliance exposure before due diligence begins.

Structured like the deal memos you already read.

MergerLens is built on real mortgage M&A frameworks — the same analytical structure used by institutional acquirers and M&A advisors. The output follows conventions deal professionals already know and trust.
