For acquirers
Receive acquisition opportunities that fit your mandate.
MergerMatch is a free private matching network for corporate acquirers, private equity, holding companies, family offices, search funds, and independent sponsors. Set your criteria once and receive anonymized SME opportunities that match.
Mandate matching
Less inbound noise, more mandate fit.
MergerMatch does not ask you to browse a public marketplace. It routes anonymized opportunities to the acquirers whose criteria match the seller profile.
Industry and sub-sector fit
Geography and cross-border relevance
Revenue, EBITDA, and enterprise-value range
Control, majority, minority, and recapitalization preference
Opportunity quality signals
Relevant acquisition leads, not investment recommendations.
Matching narrows the search to seller opportunities that fit your registered mandate. The buyer remains responsible for screening, diligence, valuation, financing, and the decision to proceed.
Seller-originated
An owner or authorised broker creates the opportunity instead of the buyer scraping a public directory.
Mandate matched
The profile is routed using industry, geography, deal size, and control or minority structure.
Anonymized first
The buyer can judge basic fit without the seller placing its identity into a searchable marketplace.
Diligence still required
A match is an acquisition lead, not an investment recommendation or a guarantee about quality, performance, or completion.

FAQ
Questions about finding acquisition opportunities.
How do buyers find businesses to acquire on MergerMatch?
Create a free buyer account and register a mandate covering industry, geography, deal size, and control or minority structure. MergerMatch sends anonymized seller opportunities when those criteria fit.
Are MergerMatch acquisition opportunities public listings?
No. Buyers do not browse a public directory of named companies. Opportunities are privately routed to relevant mandates and begin with anonymized information.
Is it free to receive acquisition opportunities?
Yes. Creating a buyer account, registering mandates, and receiving matches is free. Optional Rooms and sale-preparation tools may be paid separately.
Does MergerMatch recommend investments or guarantee business quality?
No. MergerMatch identifies possible fit between buyer criteria and seller information. Buyers and their advisers must verify ownership, financials, operations, legal matters, funding, and all other transaction risks.
Can a buyer register more than one acquisition mandate?
Yes. A buyer can keep distinct theses separate, such as one mandate for a platform acquisition and another for smaller add-on opportunities.
