How to find companies that buy businesses?

Several companies and funded startups actively look out for acquisition targets which can add value to their business and leapfrog their growth and capabilities. Some companies can decide to grow in an ancillary domain to cross sell products and increase their top line. In some cases, Private Equity firms buy out companies or fund such acquisitions when a large number of their portfolio companies have a common requirement and the acquisition can cater to their needs. Many such requirements may not be publicly discussed for various strategic and regulatory restrictions. Finding such acquirer companies is a time consuming process but one of the most important steps in selling a business. SMERGERS is a marketplace for such corporate acquirers to find acquisition targets. Visit the Buyers & Investors page to view all companies that are seeking to buy businesses on SMERGERS.
