Buying or selling a small business? You need a different playbook than a Fortune 500 deal.
Investment banks and big M&A law firms already dominate the large corporate deal space -- but if you're a main-street owner selling a business worth a few hundred thousand to a few million dollars, or a buyer looking to acquire one, that world wasn't built for you. Merger.id is a resource hub built specifically for small business buyers and sellers: real guides, a free AI valuation estimator, and connections to advisors who actually work deals your size.

The small business deal market is different -- and underserved
Big investment banks typically won't take a call under several million dollars in deal value, and most large M&A law firms are priced and structured for corporate transactions. That leaves millions of main-street owners -- the plumber with three trucks, the local restaurant, the SaaS founder with a lean team -- figuring out a complex process largely on their own. Merger.id exists to close that gap with plain-English education and the right referrals.
