- Important features for buyers:
MergerNetworks.com can help you reduce the time you spend searching for businesses. Features like "Personalized Workspace", "Matchlisting Recommendations System", "OnePass Screening System", "Market Strength Reports" and "Ratio Reports" help make buying a business easier, safer and less time consuming.
Each member gets a Personalized Workspace - here you can save listings that interest you, write notes to yourself about listings, keep copies of your correspondence with sellers, and block the listings of specific sellers.
Matchlisting Recommendations System was developed by MergerNetwork in order to provide buyers with intelligent recommendations. It recommends listings that match the buyers' preferences, instead of bombarding the buyer with huge number of listings each week. It tracks your viewing patterns and uses collaborative filtering technology (like that used by Amazon and Netflix).
OnePass Screening System provides buyers with the option to save and delete listings that you view. These listings are deleted from your future searches.
MergerNetwork.com provides buyers with Market strength reports along with Ratio Reposts so that buyers can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
|
How do sellers feel about the membership fee? Doesn't it reduce the number of responses they get to their ads? Sellers don't mind the membership fee because, unlike other web sites, don't charge them anything to advertise businesses for sale on our web site. They can advertise an unlimited number of businesses free of charge. Our membership fee does reduce the total number of responses to ads, but not the number of high-quality responses. That is because the fee mainly screens out "tire-kickers," people who aren't really serious about buying. For more FAQs or queries click here. |

MergerNetwork in the Press
If you're in the market for a business, MergerNetwork can hook you up with nearly any kind of company, located anywhere in the world, pulling in any kind of sales volume. How about a Portland, Ore., pet-care center that takes in less than $1 million a year? ... Maybe a South Korean paint manufacturer with sales between $10 million and $25 million? Or a $100 million-plus construction company located in the Midwest?
– CIO Magazine –
Ken Hanau of the large M&A firm Weiss, Peck and Greer believes that Internet M&A is here to stay, at least at the small business level. In fact, he checks it himself. But small isn't where Brauns plans to stay... Accounting for just one percent of companies sold each year, Brauns has a way to go. But with 5500 listings and 2500 buyers, there are more Conologs every day. It found the company it was looking for and is now looking for more. A corporate marriage made in heaven.
