Serava is built for buyers who want to reach owners before a business ever lists. Broker marketplaces like BizBuySell show only the small share of businesses actively for sale. Serava maps the whole market of owner-led businesses, so search funds, private equity, independent sponsors, and strategic acquirers can build a proprietary pipeline. 97.7% of these companies have no website, which is why web-crawl platforms structurally miss them. Each target carries its location, estimated size and revenue band, years in operation, owner tenure, and a succession or why-now read.
Explore the underlying data in the company database, browse targets by industry and location, or read the succession trends in 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 6M companies across six countries and lets you filter by industry, location, revenue, size, and owner tenure, so you can find off-market acquisition targets that match your thesis and reach registry-named owners directly.
