FAQ

Quick answers for curious buyers

What is On and Off Market Access?

It’s your all-in-one view of both public listings and hidden off-market businesses available for acquisition. SMB.co connects you directly with owners who may not yet have listed their business for sale — helping you access more options when buying a business.

How do off-market intros work?

When you send an intro request, our outreach campaign privately contacts the owner to gauge interest. If they’re open to a conversation, we connect you directly.

How long does an off-market intro request take?

Campaigns typically run for 6–8 weeks as we reach out through multiple touchpoints to verify interest and readiness to sell.

Can I see on-market deals too?

Yes. SMB.co combines both — so you can compare public listings alongside exclusive, off-market opportunities in one dashboard.

Why does off-market matter?

Roughly 70% of small business sales happen off-market, meaning they’re never posted publicly. SMB.co helps you access this untapped inventory before anyone else.

How do I get started?

Just create your Ideal Business Profile via an AI Search. AI will surface companies for sale across both markets instantly, giving you a head start in buying a business.

What does it cost?

Searching is free. If you close a deal, SMB.co charges a simple 1% success fee. You can also upgrade to SMB Plus to unlock Deal Autopilot, which automatically sends intro requests for you.

What makes this different from listing sites?

Most sites recycle the same deals. SMB.co creates deal flow where none existed, unlocking both on-market and off-market companies for sale.
