Find targets for freeGlobal reach, private process
Reach across borders without advertising the business to the world.
A private company should not need a worldwide public listing to meet an international buyer. MergerMatch separates reach from exposure by routing one anonymized profile against registered geographic mandates.
Seller geography
Describe the countries or regions where the business operates without publishing an identifying address.
Buyer coverage
Acquirers state where they can transact, including local, regional, and cross-border mandates.
Mandate overlap
An opportunity moves only when geography, industry, deal size, and ownership structure fit.
Controlled disclosure
Global reach does not create global visibility. The company stays anonymized before matched interest.
Need transaction advice?
Get connected with an advisor whose coverage fits.
Sellers and buyers can submit a private advisor request using the same core transaction criteria. That matching flow is separate from the public M&A Network. Lyndon Advisory is the initial firm participating in private matching, and additional advisors can join with private coverage profiles.
How advisor matching works
- 01. Share what you want to sell or buy.
Industry, geography, approximate value, ownership structure, and the help you need.
- 02. MergerMatch checks private coverage.
Active advisor criteria are compared without exposing your request publicly.
- 03. Receive a direct introduction.
Both sides receive contact details when an advisor profile fits.
For sellers
From listing to the right conversation, in three steps.
No public directory. No mass blast. Just a clear path from a business, your own or a client’s, to the buyers who genuinely fit it.
List your business for free
Share the essentials like financials, sector, geography, and the kind of deal you want. There is no listing, subscription, lead, matching, or success fee.
We match and notify the right buyers
We compare local and cross-border buyer mandates with your profile and send the anonymized opportunity to the acquirers who fit. No public directory, no mass blast.
Connect with interested buyers
When a matched buyer signals interest, MergerMatch reveals your seller-side contact to that buyer. The buyer reaches out directly, and you decide whether to respond or disclose more.
Private matching
Matched on what actually makes a deal fit.
Every match is scored across four dimensions that decide whether a conversation is worth having for both sides.
Geography
Match headquarters and operating regions with buyer coverage, from a single local market to cross-border mandates.
Industry
Sector and sub-sector fit, business model, and strategic adjacency, not just a broad category.
Deal size
Revenue, EBITDA, and enterprise-value ranges aligned to each buyer’s stated check size.
Control & minority
Full acquisition, majority recap, or a minority stake, matched to how each buyer prefers to invest.
For buyers
Find acquisition targets for free.
Corporate development teams, family offices, holding companies, private equity, search funds, and first-time acquirers set their criteria and receive matched, anonymized opportunities without buyer subscription, lead, matching, or success fees.
- Set your mandate once, covering sectors, geography, check size, and control preference.
- Receive anonymized opportunities that actually fit, not inbound noise.
- Signal interest to reveal the seller contact, or pass and keep your active review queue current.

A global private M&A network, not a public listing board.
Selling a company is personal and confidential. MergerMatch is built so owners do not need to trade public exposure for global reach. Your business is not posted publicly. When a matched buyer signals interest, your seller-side contact is revealed to that buyer so they can reach out directly. You decide whether to respond and what additional company information to disclose. Buyers join with a registered acquisition mandate, but every party must still perform its own checks.
Join the global private M&A network.
Sellers list businesses for free. Buyers find acquisition targets for free. Start in minutes, stay private, and add the optional paid data room only when you need diligence structure.
