What are the benefits of membership?

In addition to accessing the most active online network of business buyers, Searchfunder licenses research that is simply not cost effective for individuals. Access over 15,000 industry reports and 50,000 transaction financials. 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.

While we are primarily a buy-side network, we do have hundreds of brokers that regularly post deals to the community.

Can I find an internship on Searchfunder?

Absolutely! We have the industry's largest intern job board. If you are considering a search, the first step is to help another business buyer so you can hit the ground running.

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.

ACCOUNTING DUE DILIGENCE

Hi all - Has anyone worked with a good firm on accounting due diligence in Los Angeles?

Also - any sense of all-in fees from accountants on a ~$5mm transaction?

Thanks!

I recommend ^redacted‌ and VASL's exceptional bookkeeping and accounting services. We work with them to manage our diverse portfolio companies and acquisitions processes (search, DD/QofE, and post-purchase management). They thoroughly understand our various business requirements. With VASL's support, our businesses' leaders can focus on growth and expansion, knowing that their financial matters are in capable hands. VASL consistently streamlines the processes for us and chooses the right tools and systems for our specific needs. Now we have well-structured and visible financial processes. In addition to consistent expertise, professionalism, and thoughtful problem-solving, VASL's team is a joy to work with. They consistently maintain open communication and go the extra mile. We treat each other as trusted partners, and VASL is a core part of our success. We wouldn't be where we are without them!

I can refer you to some firms that may not be LA based, but specialize in deals in this size range. Feel free to DM me and I can give some info on costs.
