Business-for-sale intelligence feed that aggregates cross-platform listings, deduplicates them, enriches each with public financial signals, and delivers a scored deal flow to acquisition entrepreneur

Built for Business brokers and M&A marketplace operators.
Sells to the buyer side of the market as a deal sourcing subscription rather than to brokers, aligning incentives with the fragmented individual acquirer who has no research infrastructure

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Business brokers and M&A operators need aggregated business-for-sale listings. 0 monthly searches combined with a specific manual task (collecting from multiple sites) suggests this is a niche pain point, not mass demand.
Competition & the opening
Competition is minimal (1/10), but BizBuySell, Flippa, and brokerage networks already list businesses. The gap is aggregation—pulling data from fragmented sources and normalizing it into a single structured feed.
real pricing Kumo (dealorb.ai/blog reference — cross-platform BFS aggregator with BizBuySell, BizQuest, BusinessesForSale + brokerage feeds) $79–$179/mo · BizBuySell (dominant marketplace with its own search/filter/alert tooling) $59-$299/month
What's hard to build
High difficulty (8/10 is harder to build): scraping business listing sites requires maintaining parsers for 10+ different site structures, handling dynamic content and paywalls, and managing legal risk around scraping terms of service. You'll also face constant schema drift as sites redesign.
Why now
Business brokerage portals remain siloed and unstructured; no public API aggregator exists for the M&A sourcing workflow.
How you'd monetize
Usage-based API ($0.50-$2 per listing) + monthly search plan ($99-$399)
