The Benchmark International Scraper exports the live M&A advisory catalog from embracebenchmark.com and returns 30 fields per listing, including client code, tag line, description, revenue, EBITDA, location, industry, key activities, seller objectives, market expansion opportunities, real estate notes, and broker contact details. Benchmark International is one of the largest global mid-market M&A firms and continuously lists sell-side mandates across dozens of industries.

The catalog covers commercial construction, professional services, industrial products, healthcare, technology, energy, financial services, consumer goods, and more, across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific. This Actor turns the search results into CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes, with server-side filtering for industry, activity, revenue band, and EBITDA band.

📋 What the Benchmark International Scraper does

Two filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🔗 Start URL mode. Paste any search URL from the site with the c__searchparams query attached, and the Actor paginates it end-to-end.
• 🎛️ Filter mode. Combine keywords, location, one or more industries, one or more activities (manufacturing, wholesale, retail, services, distribution), revenue range, EBITDA range, and currency code.
• 📄 Rich teaser data. For every listing the Actor also pulls the detailed teaser record: advertised price, headquarters, shareholder objectives, key aspects, current markets, real estate, and growth opportunities.
• 💵 Multi-currency support. Filters accept USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD, ZAR, and SEK.

Each record includes the client code, deal URL, broker name, broker email, broker phone, revenue, EBITDA, industry tags, activity tags, country, currency, and the full marketing teaser fields.

💡 Why it matters: Benchmark International posts a new sell-side teaser almost every business day. Checking the site by hand misses deals; building your own Salesforce Lightning scraper means reverse-engineering signed Apex endpoints. This Actor ships that pipeline and keeps your dataset fresh on every run.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: activities, advertisedPrice, businessType, clientCode, clientMarketingMaterialId, contactName, contact_email, contact_phone, currencyCode, currentMarkets, deal_url, description, ebitda, entityCountry, headquartered, id, industry, keyAspects, location, matchCriteriaId, opportunities, opportunityBenchmarkId, revenue, scrapedTimestamp, sellerAccount, shareholderObjectives, title, totalSearchResults. All 28 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: listings are teasers, not confidential information memoranda. Revenue and EBITDA are self-reported by the seller's advisor and rounded. To receive the full CIM you must sign a non-disclosure agreement directly with Benchmark International.
