Building the largest database of sold business data in NYC

What did that corner deli actually sell for? What multiple do NYC laundromats trade at? We're gathering the real numbers behind New York City business sales — so buyers, sellers, and advisors can make decisions with data, not guesswork.

What we're building

A living picture of the NYC business market — transparent, local, and grounded in real transactions.

Real Sale Prices

Actual closed prices — not asking prices — so buyers and sellers can benchmark against what NYC businesses really sell for.

Valuation Multiples

Price-to-revenue and price-to-cash-flow multiples by category, so you can value a business with real local data.

By Category

From restaurants and delis to laundromats and salons — trends broken down by the business types that define NYC.

By Borough & Neighborhood

How sale prices and demand differ from the Upper East Side to Bay Ridge to Astoria.

Market Trends

How valuations and days-on-market shift over time as the NYC small-business market moves.

Growing Every Day

Every deal that closes on MercatoList adds to the dataset. The more the marketplace grows, the sharper the picture.

The dataset is just getting started

MercatoList is new, and this database grows with every deal that closes on the platform. Detailed reports and interactive charts are on the way. In the meantime, the best way to help build it is to buy, sell, and list on MercatoList — and check back often as new listings are added daily.
