The problem

Finding a business to buy is a full-time job. But you already have one.

There’s no single place to look. The market’s split across hundreds of broker sites and marketplaces, so you check the same tabs every morning, wade through deals that aren’t for you, and the good ones sell before you even see them.

  1. 01

    Ten tabs, no overlap

    You check the same sites every morning and still miss the deal posted on the eleventh.

  2. 02

    A haystack, no needle

    You scroll past listing after listing that isn’t for you, hunting for the rare one that actually fits.

  3. 03

    Run on a spreadsheet

    Promising deals rot in a sheet with no reminders, no status, and no way to move forward.

Canon S.First-Time BuyerCanon S.Civil engineer turned owner
I’m a civil engineer, not a deal guy. Clef matched me with a painting business I’d never have found on my own, and now I own it.
Julien M.Acquisition EntrepreneurJulien M.CEO of MGI
Clef actually helped me find some interesting opportunities I would’ve missed otherwise. Very easy to use as well.

Found a deal through Clef and connected with the broker to submit an LOI. No joke, it’s already saved me at least 10 hours this week.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Where do the deals come from?
Clef pulls business-for-sale listings from hundreds of marketplaces and broker sites across the web, then unifies and de-duplicates them into one searchable feed, dated so you can see what is actually fresh. Instead of checking site after site, you search the whole market in one place.
Do I need experience to buy a business?
No. Most people who start on Clef are buying their first business. You do not need a finance background or a track record of deals, and the work and life experience you already have is often exactly what makes you the right owner for a particular business. Clef helps you find the ones that fit what you know, and breaks down the numbers in plain English.
Is it really every business for sale?
We bring together 120,000+ active listings from hundreds of sources, the broadest view of the market you will find in one place. No tool can promise literally every business on earth, but if it is listed for sale across the marketplaces and brokers we track, it shows up in your Clef search.
How is Clef different from searching marketplaces one by one?
Any single marketplace only shows its own listings, so serious buyers end up running the same search across site after site every morning. Clef brings the whole market into one search, then adds what those sites do not: an AI that analyzes any deal, saved searches that hunt around the clock, and a buyer profile that gets brokers to take you seriously.
What does it cost?
You can start for free, no credit card required. Free includes unlimited searches across all 120,000+ businesses, full financials and business overviews, and a saved search that sends you new matches, on listings more than three weeks old. Explorer adds every deal the moment it lists, the original listing and broker contact, and unlimited Ask Clef. It opens with a 7-day free trial, and paid plans start at $45 a month billed annually. Current pricing is right above.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans have no contract and cancel in a click. An annual plan runs for the year you paid for and simply does not renew if you cancel, and you can switch between monthly and annual whenever you like.
