- ETA search funds: find succession-ready small businesses (a verified founding year 20+ years back) and the founder who runs them.
- Independent sponsors: screen a territory for acquisition candidates and contact owners without a seat licence or an annual contract.
- Commercial real estate brokers: pair every business in a territory with its owner, and county assessor parcel and principal records where published.
- Commercial insurance and wealth advisors: reach business owners facing the generational wealth transfer and 20+ year founder succession.

## Why deal and growth teams use AI Growth Beacon over static databases and DIY tools
AI Growth Beacon is a B2B search and intelligence indexing platform with a live territory waterfall and a pay-only-on-verified-find engine.
- Live, not static: every search reads the territory as it is today and each business's own website, instead of serving a record licensed and compiled months earlier.
- Pay only on a verified find: every contact field is charged only when it is found; a miss costs nothing, and an email that later reads undeliverable is refunded automatically.
- Built for owner-operated companies: the local and lower-middle-market businesses ($1.5M–$25M Core SMB & Mid-Market) that deal teams source, with the owner named for free on every plan.
- One territory waterfall: search a metro, a corridor or a whole state, then enrich field by field — business email, owner email, verified mobile, owner LinkedIn — and go deeper with a Deep AI Dossier only where it matters.
- Evidence with every fact: each owner, contact and signal shows the page it came from; signals carry a date.
- Succession timing: a verified founding year 20+ years back flags succession-ready owners, set against the $124T U.S. wealth transfer through 2048 (Cerulli Associates · Dec 2024, https://www.cerulli.com/press-releases/cerulli-anticipates-124-trillion-in-wealth-will-transfer-through-2048).
- No seat licence: monthly credits or a pay-per-unit Agency wallet; nothing is spent on a lookup that finds nothing.

## Questions
### Is this a database I'm renting?
No. It's a Live B2B Deal-Flow & Corporate Intelligence Engine you point at a market. Beacon reads each business's own website and shows you the page it came from; listing data is kept current by the Beacon Demand Data Engine (BDDE), refreshed on demand inside our partners' licence terms.

### What do I get for free?
125 credits to start, good for 30 days from signup — no card. The Free plan is a 30-day evaluation: those credits, 150 new business listings (up to 50 in one Market Scan) and 1 sample Deep AI Dossier. There is no monthly credit refill (no monthly credits on Free) — at day 30 the account pauses until you choose a paid plan. Starter, Growth and Pro can receive bonus credits from our team after a demo call.

### Do unused credits roll over?
Plan credits renew every billing month and the month's unused ones don't carry over. Signup credits, and any bonus credits our team grants after a demo, last 30 days from when they're given, and credits you top up never expire. Credits are spent in that order — signup and bonus first, then the month's, then top-ups — so the ones closest to expiring go first.

### What happens on a miss?
Nothing is charged. Credits held for the lookup are released the moment we come up empty. A team member's contact is 2 credits, charged only when we find their verified email — and their direct line and LinkedIn come with it at no extra cost when their own site publishes them. A name written only as an initial is never offered.

### Does Beacon send the emails?
Never. You get real people and the proof behind each one. Outreach is yours.

### Can I bring my own list?
Yes, from Starter up. Import a CSV and Beacon fills in the fields you pick.

### What don't you do?
No personal demographics, no social-platform harvesting, no bypassing blocks, no repackaged third-party records — and the BDDE retires partner data on schedule rather than hoarding it.

### Can I cancel?
Any time. Credit plans stop at period end; Agency wallet balances are yours to spend down or withdraw.
