Editorial standards

• Every fact about a license, fee or legal requirement links to an official or primary source and shows the date it was verified.
• We don't publish startup cost or profit figures without a cited source.
• Loan statistics come from the SBA's official public data. We publish aggregates only, hide small groups and never show borrower names.
• We never invent listings. Opportunities come from owners, brokers or licensed feeds, and a person reviews each one.
• Pages are re-checked on a schedule; anything older than 180 days is flagged for review.
• Advertising and affiliate relationships never change what we write. See our disclosure.
