Acquivo launches sell-side M&A software with no success fee

Acquivo on Nov. 3, 2026, said its platform is now generally available to business owners, M&A attorneys and boutique investment banks. The software aims to put valuation, buyer matching and deal management into one workflow, with flat monthly pricing instead of a success fee.

Why it matters: - Acquivo is targeting a part of the market that often sells without full-process support, especially private businesses below $20 million to $30 million in enterprise value. - The platform is designed to give smaller companies access to a structured sell-side process that has usually been reserved for larger transactions. - The company is also pitching a lower-cost model with flat monthly subscriptions and no success fee.

What happened: - Acquivo announced general availability of its software platform at Acquivo’s website. - The company also launched Acquivo Pro, a firm edition for M&A professionals who manage sale processes for multiple clients. - The software is built for business owners, M&A attorneys and boutique investment banks. - Acquivo Corp. is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The details: - The platform covers the full six-phase sell-side M&A process, from discovery through post-close. - A business owner completes one structured questionnaire and uploads financial documents once. - The system then generates a valuation range calibrated across 21 industry verticals. - The platform produces a readiness assessment with gap actions. - Acquivo generates a teaser and confidential information memorandum from the questionnaire, the data room and the company’s website. - The platform uses a proprietary database of more than 12,000 private equity, strategic and family office buyers. - Each buyer in the database has closed an acquisition within the past two years. - The system matches buyers by sector, size, geography and deal type to produce a ranked prospect list. - NDA execution, data room access, indications of interest and letters of intent move through a single pipeline to close. - Acquivo is offered to business owners on a flat monthly subscription. - Acquivo charges no success fee and no percentage of the sale price at any tier. - Acquivo Pro lets M&A attorneys and boutique banks run valuations, build marketing materials, match buyers and manage NDA, IOI and LOI flow across multiple concurrent sales. - Each client in Acquivo Pro uses a branded document portal to upload requested materials and approve disclosures. - Acquivo Pro is priced per seat on a flat monthly subscription with no per-deal fees. - Firms can request a demonstration at Acquivo Pro. - Business owners can start with a free valuation at Acquivo. - Guides on running a competitive sale process and adopting AI in a boutique bank are available at Acquivo guides. - Acquivo is software operated by the user. - Acquivo does not sell, advise on, negotiate or represent any transaction. - Acquivo is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, law firm or accounting firm. - Acquivo is built for businesses with $1 million to $100 million in enterprise value.

Between the lines: - Acquivo is positioning itself as a software layer for deal execution, not as an intermediary that takes part in negotiations or transaction advice. - The company’s pitch centers on transparency, with traceable numbers and owner-controlled decisions. - The database size and recent acquisition history are intended to support buyer targeting for smaller sales that can lack broad market outreach.

What’s next: - Business owners can test the platform with a free valuation. - M&A professionals can request a demonstration of Acquivo Pro. - The company is likely to compete on speed, control and pricing as it tries to pull more lower-middle-market sale processes into software.
