We regularly filter out businesses which are inactive or have already closed a transaction. Typically, if the business is actively looking to sell/raise capital, the status is shown in green.
How does SMERGERS rate business profiles?

SMERGERS compares financial metrics of each business with various other private and publicly listed businesses from the same industry. SMERGERS also considers profile completeness, activity, trust level among members, and additional parameters to arrive at a composite score to rate business profiles. SMERGERS Rating is only meant to help investors/acquirers/lenders select businesses which they would like to connect with. Members need to conduct their own due diligence before entering into any form of transaction with the business.
Do I need to pay to connect with a business?

The first two introductions are free, post that you will need to subscribe to one of our member plans. There are no other charges if you close a transaction. We offer enterprise plans for financial institutions such as Banks, PE, VC, and Funds. Contact us if you want to know more.
