What this skill does for your business brokerages
- Triages new buyer inquiries from BizBuySell, BusinessBroker.net, DealStream, and Axial by intent (tire-kicker, qualified, strategic, financial buyer) and drafts the gatekeeping reply.
- Tracks NDA execution per listing and per buyer, with the unsigned NDA chased at 48 hours and at day 7, and the executed NDA filed against the buyer record automatically.
- Distributes teasers and CIMs after NDA execution with the version stamped per recipient so leak source is traceable.
- Manages LOI follow-up at day 3, day 10, and day 21 with the deal team alerted when the buyer goes silent past the LOI exclusivity window.
- Runs the diligence chase between LOI and close: Q of E, financials, lease assignment, working capital target, holdback, and the closing checklist items keyed to the multiple of SDE or EBITDA in the LOI.

# OpenClaw Skill: Business Brokerage Deal Coordinator
## Overview
This skill turns the OpenClaw agent into a deal coordinator equivalent for
your business brokerage. It does not replace the deal coordinator role: it
amplifies it. The skill owns the inquiry triage, the NDA chase, the CIM
distribution version control, the LOI follow-up, and the post-LOI diligence
nudges so the human deal coordinator spends the day on buyer vetting and
seller hand-holding.
It is designed for main-street brokers (deals under $5M enterprise value)
and lower-middle-market brokers (deals $5M to $50M). For larger deals, the
workflow generally lives in DealCloud or DealRoom anyway and the skill
operates on top of those rather than replacing them.
## What this skill does
1. New buyer inquiry triage and gatekeeping reply across BizBuySell,
BusinessBroker.net, DealStream, Axial
2. NDA execution tracking per buyer per listing with version control
3. Teaser and CIM distribution with per-recipient watermarking
4. LOI follow-up at day 3, 10, 21 with exclusivity-window alerts
5. Post-LOI diligence chase: QofE, financials, lease assignment, working
capital target, holdback, closing checklist
6. SDE / EBITDA multiple-keyed diligence depth selection

```
## Workflow: inquiry triage
When a new inquiry lands on BizBuySell, BusinessBroker.net, DealStream, Axial,
or BizQuest, the agent:
1. Classifies the inquiry as: tire-kicker (no buyer profile, asking for
financials pre-NDA), qualified individual (buyer profile present,
reasonable budget), strategic (industry-matched corporate buyer), financial
buyer (PE platform, search fund, family office), or competitor probe
2. Drafts the gatekeeping reply appropriate to the classification
3. For qualified inquiries, drafts the NDA execution request with the
buyer-profile questionnaire attached
4. For PE and strategic buyers, routes to the lead broker with a personal-note
draft rather than the standard form reply
5. Logs the classification and the source platform to the listing memory
Most listings see 15-50 inquiries per week. The skill keeps the broker's
attention on the 5-10 that are actually worth a call.
## Workflow: NDA execution tracking
When an NDA is sent to a buyer, the agent:
1. Logs the buyer, the listing, the NDA version, and the send date to the
deal memory
2. At hour 48 if unsigned: drafts a courtesy reminder to the buyer
3. At day 7 if unsigned: drafts a final follow-up with a note that the
buyer's spot in the queue will be released
4. On execution: files the signed NDA against the buyer record, watermarks
the next-step CIM with the buyer's identifier
5. Tracks the NDA expiration (typically 12-24 months) per buyer per listing
## Workflow: CIM and teaser distribution
When an NDA is executed, the agent:
1. Pulls the latest CIM and teaser version from the document repository
2. Watermarks the CIM with the buyer's identifier, the recipient name, and
the distribution date (the watermark is visible and forensically traceable
if a leak surfaces)
3. Delivers via the secure portal or encrypted email per broker preference
4. Logs the distribution to the deal memory with a content hash
The watermarking is deliberately conservative. If a leak surfaces on the
broker community, the source is traceable to a specific buyer in seconds.
## Workflow: LOI follow-up
After an LOI is sent to a buyer or received from a buyer, the agent:
1. Day 3: drafts a check-in if the LOI is outstanding
2. Day 10: drafts the substantive follow-up referencing the LOI's exclusivity
window and the diligence calendar
3. Day 21: alerts the broker if the buyer has gone silent past the LOI
exclusivity window with a recommendation to release back to market
The LOI exclusivity window is typically 30-60 days. The skill is calibrated
to keep the deal alive inside that window and to surface the release decision
explicitly to the broker.
## Workflow: post-LOI diligence
After LOI execution, the agent stages the diligence checklist appropriate
to the deal's SDE or EBITDA multiple range:
- 2-3x SDE (main-street, under $1M EV): basic financials, tax returns,
lease, working capital, customer concentration
- 3-5x SDE or 3-5x EBITDA (mid-range main-street, $1M-$5M EV): add owner-add-
back schedule, customer contracts, employee handbook, environmental Phase I
if real estate
- 5-7x+ EBITDA (lower-middle-market, $5M+ EV): full Quality of Earnings
(Q of E), management interviews, customer interviews, formal legal due
diligence
The skill chases each checklist item through the buyer and seller, logs
receipt, and pings the broker on Slack when an item is stalled.

## Confidentiality notes
By default the skill works on listing identifiers, buyer identifiers, and
stage metadata. It deliberately does not put seller names, exact financials,
or deal terms into outbound communication before NDA execution. Set
`confidentiality_mode: strict` and even the listing industry will be
tokenized in pre-NDA buyer communication.
The CIM watermarking is conservative on purpose. Leaks happen, and a
forensically traceable watermark is the broker's only realistic remedy.

Save the downloaded business-brokers.md as ~/.claude/skills/business-broker-deal-coordinator.md (or your brokerage-level .claude/skills/). OpenClaw picks up new skill files on next agent launch.
- 2
Connect your listing platforms and deal pipeline tool
Edit the integrations block to point at your BizBuySell broker account, DealStream and Axial seats, and your CRM (DealCloud, HubSpot, Salesforce, or DealRoom). Read access is enough for inquiry triage and NDA tracking. The skill includes adapter prompts for the Sunbelt and Transworld franchise systems if your office uses them.
- 3
Launch in approval mode, validate, then flip to autonomous
Start with the lead broker approving every outbound buyer message for the first month. The skill defaults route anything that touches valuation, deal terms, or seller-side disclosure to the broker. After validation, flip the gatekeeping replies and NDA chase to autonomous; keep LOI and post-LOI in broker-approves mode.
Example conversation
You
Triage the buyer inquiries from this morning and tell me what is worth my time.
Agent
Inquiry triage complete. 27 new inquiries across BizBuySell, DealStream, and Axial in the last 18 hours. 18 fall into auto-reply categories with drafted gatekeeping responses queued: 11 financials-first tire-kickers (asked for tax returns before NDA, drafted the standard redirect), 4 buyer-profile-missing inquiries (drafted the buyer questionnaire), 3 sub-budget inquiries (price floor 2x below the listed range, drafted polite decline with alternative listings under $1M). 9 need your eyes: 2 PE platforms inquired on the HVAC listing (matched the financial-buyer-criteria), 1 strategic from a competing HVAC operator (likely highest multiple, drafted a personal note), 3 individual buyers with verified SBA pre-qual letters (top of the funnel), 2 buyers who already executed NDAs on adjacent listings (warm relationships), 1 inquiry that looks like a competitor probing.

Build it with meCommon questions
Will this work without OpenClaw Heartbeat or Memory?
+
Heartbeat and Memory are part of OpenClaw core. The skill needs both. The NDA tracking and LOI follow-up depend on Memory to persist per-buyer state across the multi-month deal timeline.
How does the skill handle confidential deal information?
+
By default the skill works on listing identifiers, buyer identifiers, and stage metadata. It deliberately does not put seller names, exact financials, or deal terms into outbound communication before NDA execution. Set `confidentiality_mode: strict` and even the listing industry will be tokenized in pre-NDA buyer communication.
Which listing platforms does it integrate with?
+
Out of the box: BizBuySell, BusinessBroker.net, DealStream, Axial, and BizQuest. For franchise systems like Sunbelt Business Brokers and Transworld Business Advisors, the skill ships adapter prompts that ingest the franchise CRM feed. For boutique brokers using DealCloud or DealRoom, the skill reads from the native API.
Does it produce the CIM or just distribute it?
+
Distribution and version control only. The CIM is the broker's intellectual product, and we deliberately do not build the kind of templated CIM-writer agent that would erode broker quality. The skill stamps each CIM with a per-recipient version watermark and tracks who downloaded what so leak source is recoverable.
How does the SDE / EBITDA tracking work?
+
The skill reads the multiple field from your CRM listing record and the buyer's offer in the LOI, then drafts the diligence checklist appropriate to that valuation range. A 3x SDE main-street deal gets a different checklist than a 7x EBITDA lower-middle-market deal. The multiples are not used to recommend price; they trigger the right diligence depth.
What does the skill cost to run on top of OpenClaw?
+
Token cost depends on listing count and inquiry volume. A 4-broker office running 60 active listings and 600 monthly inquiries spends in the $90-$200 range monthly using OpenClaw's default model selection. The skill batches inquiry triage and NDA chase to minimize per-event inference.
Can I modify this skill?
+
Yes. MIT licensed. Edit the templates, the NDA cadences, the diligence checklists per multiple band. Most brokerages fork the SKILL.md within the first 30 days.
Does this replace my deal coordinator or junior associate?
+
No. The deal coordinator role is the bottleneck in most brokerages because they juggle 40+ active listings. The skill takes the 50-80 daily inquiry replies, NDA chases, and diligence nudges off their plate so they spend time on the few items that need a human (buyer vetting, seller hand-holding, escrow coordination).
How is this different from DealCloud or DealRoom?
+
DealCloud, DealRoom, and Intralinks are excellent CRM and VDR tools. The OpenClaw skill is the agent layer that sits on top: it triages inquiries before they hit your CRM, drafts the messages your CRM is supposed to remind you to send, and reads your VDR activity to time the diligence chase. Many offices keep DealCloud and add this skill on top.
Can OpenClaw Consult build a customized version for my office?
+
Yes. The free SKILL.md is the starting point. If you want it plugged into your franchise system, your QofE provider, your preferred SBA lenders, and your house gatekeeping style, we run a 14-day fixed-price build at openclawconsult.com/hire.
