Two numbers, two questions: is it good, and is it right for you?

01 — Where the listings come from

The marketplaces, in one place.

Main-street businesses and online ones, searched together against one profile. No saved search on each site. No separate email from every one.

Brick & mortar

  • BizBuySellLargest B&M marketplace
  • BusinessesForSaleIndependent B&M marketplace
  • BusinessBroker.netIndependent B&M marketplace

Digital

  • FlippaOnline businesses & domains
  • Empire FlippersVetted digital businesses
  • Quiet LightCurated ecommerce & SaaS

This list comes from the same registry the search engine reads. Add a marketplace and this page updates itself.

02 — Your buyer profile is the search

Describe the business you want. Once.

Industry, budget, geography, business type. Every search from then on runs against that profile. You never re-type filters to see what's new.

  • Geography that matches how people actually buy. A city, a county, or a whole state. Not a radius you have to guess at.
  • Looking for two different things? Keep two profiles. An HVAC search in the Carolinas and a SaaS search anywhere don't have to share one set of filters.
  • Choose your sources. Every marketplace is on by default for your business type. Turn off the ones you don't want.

03 — Everything arrives scored

Two numbers, two different questions.

Scout Score rates the business. Match % rates the fit for you. Sorting on either one alone will mislead you.

Scout Score — is this a good business?

Deal quality on its own terms: the multiple against benchmarks, the earnings, the risk signals. The same inputs always give the same score. It's the engine behind the free Deal Analyzer.

Match — is it a good business for you?

How closely the listing fits your profile: industry, budget, geography, business type. A perfect match on a weak business is still a weak business.

04 — Deal Spotlight

The five you haven't seen yet.

Not a news feed and not a digest. Deal Spotlight ranks the listings you haven't opened yet and shows the five strongest. It re-ranks live every time you open it.

  • It empties as you work. Pipeline a listing or mark it “not interested” and it leaves at once. The five are always five you still have to look at.
  • The email only fires on something new. If nothing new has entered your top five, no email goes out. A quiet week is silent, on purpose.
  • Premium buys speed, not access. The page is identical on both paid tiers and refreshes live for both. Only the email ceiling differs: at most weekly on Standard, at most daily on Premium.
  • Deal Spotlight is included from Standard up.

05 — Bring your own deal

Found it somewhere else? Bring it in.

A broker emailed you a link. Someone you know is selling. Wherever a deal comes from, it belongs with the rest. Same scoring, same verification.

  • Paste the listing URL. From any marketplace we support. We pull the deal in for you.
  • Or add it by hand. A deal that was never listed anywhere gets its own record, marked Private.
  • An unsupported site is refused, not guessed at. You get a clear “we don't support this site yet”. We won't guess at a layout we have never seen, because a wrong number is worse than no number.

Add a listing

Paste the URL of a listing you've found and we'll bring it in.

06 — What it costs

Searching is the feeder, so we keep it generous.

Free runs 10 searches a month, with full Scout Scores and match ranking. That is enough to see whether the deals we surface are the deals you want. Paid plans search without a monthly count, and Deal Spotlight is included from Standard up.
