Find great businesses before they’re for sale.
Off-Market Sourcing surfaces owner-operated businesses that haven’t listed anywhere, scores each one for acquisition fit, and hands you a grounded valuation and the owner’s contact. So the first serious conversation about selling is with you.
The best businesses never reach a marketplace. By the time one is listed, you are one of fifty buyers bidding against a broker’s process, with your leverage already gone. Off-market flips that: you reach the owner first, before there is a process, before there is competition.
Source every business in your buy box
Search any category across a city or a whole state, traditional or digital businesses. Every result is scored and tiered for acquisition fit, so the strongest targets rise to the top.
Deep dive any business
One click pulls the owner, a direct contact, size, years in operation, and a refined acquisition score. Run one, or a whole list in bulk.
Grounded valuations
Every business is priced against the real SDE multiples of its specific subsector, shown as that subsector's range plus an estimated value.
Never drop a deal you sourced
The owners you surface are hard-won, so every one you save lands in your pipeline and is tracked from the first conversation all the way to close. No promising lead slips through the cracks.

Questions, answered.
- What is off-market deal sourcing?
- Off-market deal sourcing is finding businesses to buy before their owners have listed them for sale anywhere. Instead of bidding against other buyers on a marketplace, you identify owner-operated companies that fit your criteria and reach the owner directly, so the first serious conversation about selling is with you.
- How is off-market sourcing different from on-market listings?
- On-market deals are already listed on broker sites and marketplaces, so you compete with every other buyer who found them. Off-market businesses aren't listed anywhere: there's no process and no competition yet, which gives you more leverage on price and terms. Accredited Pro includes both on-market and off-market sourcing.
- How does Accredited find off-market businesses?
- You search by category and geography, in a city or across a whole state, and Accredited surfaces owner-operated businesses that match. Each result is scored and tiered for acquisition fit, and a deep dive pulls the owner, a direct contact, company size, years in operation, and a grounded valuation.
- Who is Accredited for?
- Accredited is built for accredited investors and serious buyers acquiring small and mid-sized businesses, including searchers, independent sponsors, family offices, and private equity. Off-market sourcing is part of Accredited Pro.
- How much does off-market sourcing cost?
- Off-market sourcing is included in Accredited Pro, which is $49 per month after a 7-day free trial. You can cancel anytime.
