Business for sale API
Query 14,200+ businesses for sale (SaaS, ecom, content sites, agencies) from 22 marketplaces in a single JSON endpoint. Filter by MRR, asking price, multiple, age, industry.
Data aggregated from
All listings, all marketplaces, one query
Skip writing 22 scrapers. We aggregate Flippa, Empire Flippers, Quiet Light, TrustMRR and 18 more brokers daily and serve them via a single REST endpoint.
- 22 marketplaces aggregated daily — Flippa, Empire Flippers, Quiet Light, TrustMRR, Daltons, Microns and more.
- Broker-aware multiple — premium brokers (Quiet Light, Empire Flippers) report SDE / annual profit, not top-line revenue. We expose both.

Standardised schema — same shape regardless of source:

Built for
Acquirers and search funds — pull every listing matching your thesis (e.g. SaaS with $5k+ MRR and <3x multiple) into your CRM or screening tool, without scraping 22 broker websites.
M&A advisors — benchmark asking prices and multiples across the entire market when sizing a deal or pricing a sell-side mandate.
Builders & LLM agents — feed the catchbuys MCP server into Claude, Cursor or your own agent so it can answer "show me Amazon FBA brands under $500k with established history" in plain English.
Investors & data products — power your own newsletter, deal-flow tracker or alerting product on top of structured data.

Questions
How fresh is the data?
All sources are re-fetched daily via listings:fetch. Listings that disappear from the source are removed within 24 hours, so the API never returns stale records.
Why is the multiple sometimes computed against profit, not revenue?
Premium brokers (Quiet Light, Empire Flippers, Latonas, AcquisitionsDirect) price listings against SDE / annual profit, not top-line revenue. The multiple field uses annual_profit when present, falling back to annual_revenue otherwise. Both raw values are returned, so you can recompute either way.
What's the rate limit?
60 requests per minute per token. Exceeding returns HTTP 429.
Can I use this from Claude or Cursor?
Yes — see the MCP server page. The same Bearer token gets you both the REST API and the MCP server.
How do I authenticate?
Sanctum personal access token. Pass it as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Manage tokens at /api/access.
Is there a price?
Not during the POC. The API and MCP server are free for any signed-in user. Pricing will be introduced once the POC graduates — existing users get advance notice.
