The best off-market leads.

Self-funded searchers buying a founder-led business. Before Market covers Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia and Wyoming, with more states as members ask. Roll-up operators come later. A small founding group, so each desk gets real attention.

Apply with your thesis. Our team reads each application and replies within two business days. If it's a fit, you get a sign-in link by email. You say what you want to buy, sign the confidentiality agreement on screen, and Before Market opens with the businesses that fit. The beta is free while it runs; membership opens at the price below when it ends.

Two things. On each business, the scoring: whether it matches what you want to buy, how likely the owner is to sell and why, estimated revenue and profit, and a likely sale price. In the app, the deal flow agent: it searches inside your deal box, explains what is on a business, adds it to your CRM, moves stages, logs calls and emails, sets follow-ups, and on the Diligence page assesses risk with a source on each one. It never contacts anyone. You do, and tell it what happened.

No. Before Market does first-pass diligence: it tells you which targets deserve a call, what's known, what's assumed, and what to verify. Quality of earnings, legal, and confirmatory diligence still happen once you're engaged with an owner.

From public filings, not listing sites: the state registry, SBA loan files, Form 5500 benefit-plan filings and trade licence boards. Records that agree are matched into one business, and a business two independent records confirm is marked so. The run repeats weekly, and each business is checked against your deal box before it reaches you.

One membership: $1,500 a month, or $9,000 a year with six months free. Applying is free and takes no card; you pay once accepted, and you can cancel from your billing page any time.

Yes. Owners claim their business on the owner side and say they are open to hearing from buyers. Our team approves each claim, then members see "Owner raised a hand" with the owner's timeline and what they want, never their name. You ask our team for an introduction, and we speak with the owner first, so when you are introduced the owner is expecting you.
