So we can name owners of businesses with no website on record, the 97.7% PrivCo, Grata, PitchBook and ZoomInfo can't see.
Breakdown by industry and country: Serava Data Hub.
Already in use: 35,000+ companies sourced and screened for signed acquisition mandates across the US and Canada.
Crawlers miss businesses with no website, but government registries list them, so we can name the owner and show years in business.
Every named owner traces to a government registry. A sample, measured on the live database:
Plus US Secretaries of State, EPA, IRS, Chicago, Texas TDLR, veterinary and pharmacy licence boards, and registries in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. 25+ sources in all.
Scored on 8 capabilities for sourcing off-market, owner-run businesses under $20M. The others were built for other jobs.
Grade = share of the 8 capabilities offered (half credit for partial), from the table below. It measures fit for off-market owner sourcing only, not overall quality.
