Who this page is for. Buyers describing an acquisition thesis in plain English to count the matching off-market businesses, free and with no sign-in.
Updated October 2026. Describe your thesis below.
Describe your thesis. Plain English or filters. Serava understands 46 industries, six countries and their regions, revenue and headcount bands, and years in business or succession language like "in business 15+ years".
See your market count. A live count of matching owner-led businesses from 5.8M companies, updating as you refine.
Get your free deal map. Every target plotted with size, years in business and succession signals. Owner contacts on your top targets unlock with Pro.
Each target shows its location, estimated size and revenue band, years in operation and a succession or why-now read. Broker sites like BizBuySell list only the small share actively for sale; Serava maps the whole owner-led market, so you can reach owners before they list. 97.7% of these companies have no website on record, which is why web-crawl platforms miss them.
Explore the company database, browse by industry and location or read the 2026 State of SMB Acquisitions report. Built for search funds, PE firms and independent sponsors.
Most owner-led businesses never list publicly. Serava maps 5.8M companies across six countries and lets you filter by industry, location, revenue, size, and years in business, so you can find off-market acquisition targets that match your thesis and reach registry-named owners directly.
