Free business listing
List your business for free and keep it private.
MergerMatch is a global private M&A network for small and mid-sized business owners and their brokers. There is no listing, subscription, lead, matching, or success fee. Your anonymized opportunity is matched to local and cross-border acquirers or brokers by geography, industry, deal size, and structure. Your listing stays anonymous until a matched buyer signals interest. MergerMatch then reveals your seller-side contact to that buyer. You control whether to respond and what additional company information or documents to disclose.
Share the essentials once
Add the company profile, financial range, sector, geography, and deal structure you would consider.
Stay anonymous while matching happens
MergerMatch sends the opportunity only to local or cross-border acquirers and brokers whose mandates fit. Your company is not posted in a public directory.
Review interested parties
When a matched acquirer 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.
Buyer quality signals
Reach buyers with a stated mandate, then verify the party.
MergerMatch improves the starting point by matching against a real buyer brief. A seller still decides whether the acquirer is credible enough for identity disclosure, diligence, and a transaction.
Registered account
The interested party joins as an acquirer rather than browsing an open public listing. Registration is not independent buyer verification.
Current mandate
The buyer states the industries, geographies, deal sizes, and ownership structures it is actively considering.
Demonstrated fit
The opportunity reaches buyers whose registered criteria match before they can signal interest.
Seller-controlled deeper disclosure
A match creates a reason to review the party. It does not replace seller screening, proof of funds, diligence, or professional advice.
Global reach without public exposure
One private listing can meet local and cross-border demand.
Reach comes from the buyer mandates your opportunity can match, not from publishing the company to a worldwide audience. A broad buyer universe and a confidential process can coexist.
Choose the operating footprint
State the business country, region, and cross-border relevance at a level that supports matching without revealing an identifying address.
Match registered buyer coverage
The opportunity is compared with buyers and brokers that have declared they can acquire in those markets.
Stay eligible as the network grows
An active profile can match a relevant new mandate later without being reposted or advertised publicly.
No seller platform fees
Free to list, private by design.
Public marketplaces make buyers browse listings. MergerMatch works the other way around. You submit once, we match your opportunity to the acquirers or brokers who fit, and only interested parties come back for your review.

FAQ
Questions about finding business buyers.
How can I find buyers for my business without advertising it publicly?
Create an anonymized seller opportunity with the company sector, broad geography, size range, and preferred deal structure. MergerMatch routes it privately to registered acquirers whose mandates fit.
Is it free to list my business on MergerMatch?
Yes. Creating a seller listing, receiving matches, and connecting with interested parties carry no MergerMatch listing, subscription, lead, matching, or success fee. Optional Rooms and sale-preparation tools may be paid separately.
Does MergerMatch verify buyers?
No. Buyers register an account, submit an acquisition mandate, and must complete self-declared buyer-profile fields before revealing seller contact details. Sellers should still perform their own identity, funding, conflict, and transaction checks before sharing sensitive information or making commitments.
Does MergerMatch guarantee that a buyer will complete an acquisition?
No. Matching identifies potential fit and interest. It does not guarantee funding, diligence results, terms, valuation, or completion.
Can a business broker list a client opportunity?
Yes. Brokers and M&A advisers can register an anonymized client opportunity and receive matched acquirer interest while managing the seller relationship separately.
Can my listing reach buyers in another country?
Yes. Sellers describe where the business operates and buyers define the countries or regions they can acquire in. Cross-border routing occurs when geography and the other mandate criteria overlap.
Does global reach mean my business is visible worldwide?
No. Global reach refers to matching against local and cross-border mandates. The seller opportunity remains anonymized and is not published as a worldwide public advertisement.
