Who is buying

How many buyers want your business?

Three questions. No name or email needed for your estimate.

Annual revenue
Where the business is based

Estimates are rounded ranges based on the stated criteria of buyers in the Vanla network and are refreshed regularly. They are not an offer or a valuation.

Visible network, invisible names

No names without an NDA

Buyers see an anonymous profile of your business first. Your company name is shared only after a buyer signs an NDA and you approve them.

Counts, never contacts

The numbers on this page are aggregate counts of stated buyer criteria. We never publish who our buyers are, and we never publish who our sellers are.

You choose who hears about it

Competitors, customers and anyone you want kept out can be excluded before a single buyer is approached.
