Profitable dev shops and SaaS businesses not on any broker list
268,323+ off-market software & IT services businesses mapped across live markets. Serava filters for years in business, review quality, local demand, and likely succession readiness.
74% of the companies we hold here carry a named owner, but a name AND a way to reach them on the same record on just a fraction of 1%. The names and the phone numbers come from different registries that rarely cover the same company, so this is not a contact list you can buy off the shelf. Identifying the owner is the expensive half and it is already done; reaching the handful you actually shortlist is a per-company lookup we run for you.
A sourcing mandate is a fixed fee, scoped on the call, delivered in 10 days, and we build and enrich the shortlist for you. The call decides whether it is worth running.

Serava continuously maps 268,323 software & it services businesses across 99 regions, sourced from public registries, licensing boards, and corporate filings. We filter out chains, nonprofits, and the inactive or dissolved records we can detect, but some listings may still be inactive or mis-tagged.
Each business is scored 0 to 100 on the signals that predict a quiet, off-market sale: years in business, succession indicators, and contact reachability. The result is a ranked shortlist of owner-led companies that are not posted on any marketplace.
Coverage is refreshed continuously, and we keep correcting the underlying data as we find errors. The counts shown reflect businesses that currently pass our eligibility rules, not a raw directory total.
Built and maintained by Serava, an off-market acquisition sourcing platform, with sourcing methodology overseen by founder Sadra Khorvash. Last updated October 2026.
