Understanding Off-Market Opportunities
At SMB.co, our mission is to list all 36 million+ small businesses in the U.S., making us a comprehensive platform for buying and selling small businesses. We aim to be the "Zillow for small businesses." Our data is sourced from a mix of public and private sources, ensuring it is always growing and evolving.
How We Source Opportunities
The information on SMB.co provides enough context for you to decide if a business is worth pursuing. We handle the off-market outreach by privately contacting business owners on your behalf to gauge their interest in selling. If they are open to a conversation, we facilitate an introduction, allowing you to engage in qualified, verified calls.
Maximizing Your Results
To maximize your results, we recommend sending 40–50 introduction requests per month. For those who prefer automation, our "set-it-and-forget-it" option can automatically send requests based on your Ideal Business Profile.
Opt-In Process
Unlike traditional listing sites, business owners do not "opt-in" until they claim their business, similar to claiming a home on Zillow. Our system unlocks hidden deal flow by reaching out to off-market owners directly, where most real opportunities lie.
