Frequently asked questions

What size businesses do you cover?

Estimated revenue from under $1M to $500M. The core LMM range in our database is $2M to $30M. You set your own floor and ceiling.

Can you source add-ons for an existing portfolio company?

Yes. For an HVAC platform in the Southeast, say, we map add-ons in neighboring states with density, years in business and fit scores.

Do you cover international markets?

The US, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. UK data comes from Companies House plus OSM enrichment. Need another country? Ask and we will assess coverage.

How do you handle exclusivity?

On managed sourcing we work one buyer per industry and geography niche, and run no competing introductions there while yours is active.

What does Serava cost?

The free map costs nothing: describe your thesis and see the live company count plus the top 100 companies by fit, no card needed. Serava Pro is $149/mo, or $1,490/yr (2 months free). Pro maps your market (up to 10,000 companies), ranks the most exit-ready owners with verified email and LinkedIn where available, and exports to CSV. Self-checkout, cancel anytime. Plans are at serava.ai/pricing.

How is Serava different from PitchBook, Grata or a broker?

PitchBook and PrivCo research companies with filings or funding. Grata and SourceScrub crawl company websites. Brokers and marketplaces show businesses already listed for sale. Serava starts from government business registries, so it finds owner-operated companies before they list, including the 97.7% with no website on record. Side-by-side comparisons are at serava.ai/compare.
