We scrape every small regional website out there. These are the Outposts — they don't get picked up by the big aggregators, carry a 50% higher median asking price, and see a fraction of the buyer traffic. Sign up to get the top picks in your inbox every Thursday. See sample →
I'm Josh and I live in California with my wife and two young kids. I spent a year navigating the incredibly frustrating and thankless process of buying a business.
I built Searcher OS because I was sick of spreadsheets, buried CIMs, and the manual grind of BizBuySell.
This isn't just a CRM; it's the tool I use to find my own deals.
Welcome to the search. Let's get to work.

Real acquirers using Searcher OS to find and close deals.
“I spent years convinced that a custom Excel sheet was the 'pro' way to run a search. It wasn't until I used Searcher OS that I realized how much manual labor I was actually doing. It's the first tool I've seen that actually gives a searcher their time back.”

“Searcher OS does the scraping for me across most listing sites and brings all the listed businesses for sale into one portal. Before, I was using spreadsheets, a Note app, and emails to try to organize and track, my search and now I've been able to do the majority of that one in a single tool. It also permanently hides listings that I no longer want to see, so i never have to sift through them again.”
