Step one

What does the business do, and how big is it?

The archive

Every transaction we hold, open to read

Not a sample and not a teaser. The whole archive is on the site, searchable by sector, deal size, period and acquirer, with no account and no paywall. Spanning 2014-2025.

Recorded transactions

every one with a disclosed deal value

With a disclosed multiple

revenue or EBITDA, from the parties themselves

Sectors covered

from software to metals and mining

Named acquirers

strategics, PE firms and family offices

What it is not: a census of the market. These are deals that were reported. A business sold quietly between two owners never enters a dataset like this one, and disclosure skews towards larger transactions. Roughly four in five closes without a published multiple, which is why the count of disclosing deals is shown next to every median on the site rather than buried in a methodology note.
