Build your buy box
Three quick questions. Your 10 targets appear on screen and in your inbox.
What do you buy?
Choose up to 4. We screen the Companies House SIC codes behind each one.
Stop looking where every other buyer is looking.
Most buyers start their search in exactly the same places: businesses-for-sale websites, broker mailing lists, Google, LinkedIn.
Everyone sees the same opportunities.
The businesses that are already advertised may already have:
- Multiple interested buyers
- A broker running a competitive process
- Inflated seller expectations
- Dozens of enquiries
- Very little room for proprietary negotiation
But there are millions of UK companies that aren't publicly advertised for sale.
Some may have owners approaching retirement. Some may have no obvious succession plan. Some may fit your acquisition criteria perfectly. You simply haven't found them yet.
That is what TrueValue is built to solve.
You give us the buy box.
Tell us what you're looking for.
Sector
Manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, business services, construction or almost any other industry.
Geography
Nationwide, region, county or city.
Company size
Set your preferred turnover, EBITDA or employee range.
Ownership preferences
Owner-managed, family-owned or other criteria important to your search.
Then TrueValue searches the UK company market for matches.
And we give you this.

Two ways to find your next acquisition.
The old way
Spend hours searching:
- Companies House
- Broker sites
- Business marketplaces
- Spreadsheets
- Company websites
Then manually work out whether each business fits.
The TrueValue way
- Tell us what you're looking for.
- Let TrueValue search for the matches.
- Receive your first 10 companies free.
You can decide which sounds better.
Why is this free?
Because the easiest way to understand TrueValue is to see what it can find for you.
We could tell you about the technology, show you feature lists, or explain how the platform works. Instead, we'd rather give you something useful.
Your first 10 acquisition targets.
If they're useful, you can decide whether you'd like TrueValue to keep searching for you. If they're not, you've paid nothing.
That's the deal.
