Common questions

Is PrivCo a source of acquisition targets?

PrivCo is oriented around modeled financials and firmographics for private companies, most useful when a company already has a discoverable data footprint. Serava is oriented around sourcing and reaching owner-operated acquisition targets, including small off-market businesses PrivCo generally cannot model.

Does Serava provide financials like PrivCo?

Serava shows revenue estimates and evidence signals for prioritization, then expects financial verification during buyer diligence. PrivCo goes deeper on modeled financials for larger private companies. The tools solve different problems.

Which should a searcher use?

A searcher focused on sub-$20M owner-operated businesses usually gets more sourcing value from Serava, because the target universe includes off-market and siteless businesses with named owners and years-in-business signals. PrivCo is more of a financial-research complement for larger private companies.
