Off-market target maps without a full BD team. Ranked SMB targets by industry and geography, with outreach support available in managed plans — built on government registries covering the 97.7% of businesses with no website.
You do not need a full BD team to source deals. Serava gives independent sponsors a free market preview first, then Pro workflow or managed outreach when a thesis is worth pursuing.
Brokered listings attract competing buyers. Serava surfaces operators with succession signals before a public process, giving you a focused market map to work from.
Tell us your target industry, geography, revenue range, and deal size. We build a focused list and keep your deal activity confidential from other sponsors in the same niche.
Serava reads owner tenure straight from registry incorporation and licence dates — the clearest retirement signal, and one no web-crawl tool can reconstruct.
When a market looks worth pursuing, managed plans can support first-touch outreach and organize responses so you are not working from a raw spreadsheet.
Validate target density before paying. Pro includes target-map exports, contact signals, pipeline workflows, and refreshes. Book Sadra from the map when a shortlist is worth discussing.
Yes. Serava is built for independent sponsors, fundless sponsors, and search fund principals. You do not need committed capital to get started. Submit your deal criteria and we will begin sourcing targets in your vertical.
Home services businesses (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pest control, roofing, landscaping) are ideal for independent sponsors because they are asset-light, cash-generative, and geographically dense enough to build platform value. Professional services (staffing, MSP, facility management) are strong for sponsors with operational experience.
We maintain a mandate registry and limit parallel introductions for the same company within a reasonable exclusivity window. If a target is actively in diligence with another buyer, we flag it and move to the next priority target in your list.
We reach out within 24 hours to schedule a 30-minute intake call. On that call, we capture your industry focus, target geography, deal size parameters, and hold period preference. Your first mandate list is delivered within 48 hours of the intake call.
Drop your email and we will reach out within 24 hours to build your mandate.
