You also get monthly credits for contact information for your company sourcing campaign with the option to purchase more at drastically discounted rates. Searchfunder has pre-purchased access from these data providers in order to empower individual buyers and to help searchers level the playing field versus private equity.

Do I need an MBA to join?

While a large number of our members come from dedicated programs at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, and other top programs, searching is no longer reserved for the elite. With the current abundance of dry powder in private equity, and an increasing number of business owners reaching retirement age, good deals rarely go unfunded.

2023 Ebitda Multiples

Will the Ebitda multiples for 2023 be higher or lower than they were in 2022? I have yet to find any information on what valuations will be. Does anyone know accurate information on what they may be this year?

Yes - this is part of why fewer deals get done in a slowdown. Motivated sellers (I.e non market reason for selling) may still get done at a lower multiples while fewer overall deals get done as the exit opp isn’t as attractive/doesn’t get to their number

I agree. Less deals will just get done, because DSCR has to be in line and with higher rates and reduced growth due to inflation/'recession' the multiples will need to come down and less sellers of good businesses will want to sell for less.
