What the sizes mean, and what we never list
Solo venture
Price under $1m · revenue under $300k · fewer than 3 staff. Your first acquisition, bought alongside a job. Simple to run, little training, few or no staff.
Hands-on CEO
Price under $5m · revenue under $3m · fewer than 15 staff. More capital, management experience, and the appetite to run a team yourself. You are buying the CEO seat.
Operator-led
Price under $10m · revenue $3m–$10m · 20–50 staff. Access to capital and the experience to manage 20 to 50 people, with an eye on a lower-middle-market exit.
Market leader
Price under $15m · revenue $5m–$15m · 25–100 staff. Significant capital and acquisition experience, ready to compete with institutional buyers.

What we never list: restaurants, hotels, retail storefronts, consulting firms, personal brands, Amazon FBA and dropshipping, and dry cleaners.

80%

of businesses that go up for sale never sell.

Not because they're bad businesses. Because the books are messy, the business lives in the owner's head, and buyers walk when they can't verify what they're buying. The fix isn't growing the business. It's making the value you've built provable.

The real market

Where your business sits among businesses that sold.

Asking prices show what sellers hope for. Closed transactions show what buyers paid. We benchmark you against the second one, because that's the market you'll meet.
