Question 1

How does Serava.AI find off-market acquisition targets?

Accepted Answer

Serava.AI uses programmatic data aggregation to map 120,000+ service businesses across North America, the UK, and Australia. We identify succession-ready business owners (those with 15+ years operating a single business) before they decide to hire an investment banker. Each company is assigned an AI Acquisition Fit Score (0-100) benchmarked against your specific buyer criteria: target revenue, EBITDA floor, owner tenure, recurring revenue, and geography.

Question 2

What industries does Serava.AI cover for acquisition sourcing?

Accepted Answer

Serava.AI covers 19 service industries: HVAC, pest control, managed IT services (MSP), electrical, plumbing, roofing, landscaping, manufacturing, janitorial and building services, auto repair, painting, pool and spa services, security systems, concrete and masonry, software and IT services, law and professional services, staffing and HR, facility management, and property management.

Question 3

Is Serava.AI built for search fund principals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Search fund principals can define a mandate (industry, geography, revenue range ($1M-$50M+), and owner profile) and receive a pre-mapped, AI-scored pipeline of acquisition targets within 24 hours. Every mandate is completely private and never shared with other buyers. We surface 800+ pre-filtered targets sorted by AI fit score and succession probability.

Question 4

What countries does Serava.AI cover for deal origination?

Accepted Answer

Serava.AI maps businesses across six countries: the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, covering 133 states and provinces with over 116,000 companies mapped.

Question 5

How does the AI acquisition fit score work?

Accepted Answer

Each company receives a 0–100 Acquisition Fit Score calculated from your mandate's specific criteria: target revenue range, EBITDA floor, owner tenure, recurring revenue percentage, and geographic preference. Companies scoring above 80 are strong targets; those above 90 are highest-priority outreach candidates.

Question 6

What does Serava.AI cost?

Accepted Answer

Serava.AI operates on a finder's fee model: no monthly retainer is required to start. You pay only when we successfully introduce you to an acquisition target that leads to a signed deal.

Question 7

How is Serava.AI different from business brokers or M&A marketplaces?

Accepted Answer

Unlike brokers or listed marketplaces, Serava.AI surfaces businesses before they decide to sell. We identify succession-ready owners who haven't yet engaged a banker, giving you a proprietary advantage before the deal hits the market. Every mandate is private; your targets are never shared with competing buyers.
