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.

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.

Hello,

I am looking for a recommendation for AR financing. There are alot of companies out there that provide this service and so I am wondering whether anyone has experience in working with a great company?

Recommendations will be appreciated. Thank you.

Crestmark is a pretty good option for pure AR financing. The size of the business will be the driver of a lot of these deals. ABL lending is usually expensive since they have to validate the collateral more often than a bank. If the P&L looks good traditional banks should want to work on this though so you likely don't need a specific AR financing business

I'm interested in this as well. I used one way back but was too expensive. More recently went through 1 month of paperwork and audit to be approved by another ABL lender but they were too expensive it just became cost prohibitive.

It makes so much sense on paper but in reality seems hard to find someone to execute in a way that makes sense for my business.
