Broker Search Tool

One thing that slowed me down early in my search was figuring out which brokers to actually call. There are thousands of them, and most of us start with the 3-4 franchise names we've heard on podcasts, which leaves a lot of inventory invisible. I've been scraping hundreds of broker sites daily to build Searcher OS, so I've got a reasonably complete map of who's actually listing US small businesses publicly. I pulled it into a free finder tool for the community: https://searcheros.ai/business-brokers Filter by state, industry, and price band, and you'll see which firms are currently listing in your buy box, ranked by recent volume. No login or signup required. A few numbers from the underlying data that I didn't expect: - Only 4 firms operate in all 50 states (Sunbelt, Murphy, Transworld, First Choice). Those 4 alone account for 24% of the sellside pipeline. 66% of US broker firms are single-state specialists. - The top 17 firms carry 50% of all US inventory. 254 firms cover 80% of it. Meanwhile 796 firms (about a third of the directory) list exactly one deal per quarter. The top is much thinner than I assumed. - Your state decides what kind of market you're shopping. Indiana and Maryland are effectively one or two firm markets (HHI around 1,900). North Carolina, Texas, Arizona, and Georgia are spread across 150 to 450 firms each. The tool is free and will stay that way. I'd love feedback on what would make it more useful for your search. Missing filters? Wrong firms surfacing in your state? A cut of the data you wish was there? Happy to dig into any of it in the comments.
