Many owners of older businesses will step back over the next decade, most without ever listing. We help acquirers find those businesses. 97.7% of the companies we track have no website on record.
Sadra Khorvash
Founder, Serava
Sadra Khorvash founded and runs Serava. He built it end to end: the registry data pipeline, the fit scoring model and the sourcing method.
Each week he helps acquirers (search funds, independent sponsors and PE teams) build off-market pipelines, and helps owners learn what their company is worth and how a sale runs.
The seller guides here come from that work: what drives value in a vertical, how buyers diligence a business, and where deals fall apart.
That work spans healthcare, professional services, the skilled trades and industrial sectors.
Areas of focus
Sadra also hosts the Think Forward Podcast, on innovation, technology and the stories behind new ideas.
Every record comes from public sources: registries, licenses, filings, business websites and open map data. Paid enrichment is demand-led, not broad scraping.
None of our targets have listed for sale or engaged a sell-side advisor.
The Fit Score uses observable signals: tenure, age, revenue estimates and ratings. Each datapoint is labeled verified or modeled, and each company graded Platinum to Modeled by how much verified data backs it.

Every business comes from a verifiable public source and is re-graded as verified data lands.

The Acquisition Fit Score (0 to 100) weights public signals by how well they track owner exit readiness.
Years in business
10+ years in business shows durability, and 15+ years is a succession signal. A company with no known founding date earns no points here.
Revenue estimate
From industry benchmarks (revenue per employee, SBA loan size, comps), shown as a min to max range.
EBITDA estimate
Industry average margins applied to estimated revenue. For quick screening, not underwriting.
Rating and review signals
Where public reviews exist (Google, Yelp), count and rating signal customer engagement and stability.
Recurring revenue estimate
Typical recurring share by vertical, e.g. 80%+ for RIA advisory, 30 to 60% for HVAC service agreements.
