Join our roster of over 270,000 buyers and discover how easy it can be to find the perfect business to buy.
Welcome to MergerNetwork. We are an online marketplace for buying and selling small and middle market businesses. We went online in May 1995 under the name M&A Marketplace and today have over 270,000 registered members and over 14,000 businesses and small companies listed for sale.
We are different from other business for sale web sites. Like them, we enable you to search for listings by industry, location, and price. And like them we let you set up search agents that automatically send you listings matching your criteria. But that's where the similarity ends.
Unlike them, we track everything you do on our web site: what you search for, what listings you view, and what sellers you contact. (By the way, we keep all of this information in strictest confidence — no one ever sees it but us.) We use this information to develop a detailed profile about you and then we search for businesses that we think you will like.
With our system you don't need to spend as much time sifting through listings because we do the sifting for you — our search technology is much more selective than a simple search agent. You also find listings that you won't find on your own — listings you'd miss if you're not an expert searcher. Register now and experience the MergerNetwork difference!

Like other web sites we enable you to advertise businesses for sale and franchise opportunities to potential buyers. But unlike other sites, we are free — you can advertise as many businesses as you want free of charge. (We are able to do this because we generate 100% of our revenue from selling premium memberships to buyers.)
Unlike other sites we proactively market your listings to potential buyers. We have a proprietary database of buyer information with purchase preferences for over 250,000 buyers. When you advertise a business with us, we search this database for potential buyers for your business and we send these buyers an email about your business. It's the ultimate in one-to-one targeted marketing.
We also help you screen out unwanted buyers. When you advertise on other sites you may get over a hundred responses to your ad and you'll have to read and respond to all of them. When you do this you'll find that only a small fraction, maybe 5%, come from serious buyers. That doesn't happen with us because our premium membership fees weed out the "window shoppers." You get a smaller number of responses but almost all of them (over 90%) are from serious buyers. Register now and experience the MergerNetwork difference!
