Frequent asked questions:

What is Searchfunder.com?

Searchfunder.com is an online community of searchers, investors, lenders, brokers and other professionals. Over 80% of those involved in searchfunds maintain a Searchfunder account to help them network, hire, and mentor others.

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 you have deals?

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.

What does it cost?

Searchfunder is a subscription service. We offer flexible monthly, annual and lifetime memberships.

Monthly

$79 / month

Annual

$19 / month

Lifetime

$432 / once

Those who maintain an account with us for over 4 continuous years are permanently added to the community without the need for a membership.

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.

Australia Traditional Investor List

Hi all - does anyone have a list of traditional investors that invest in deals in Australia?

Also, is there a subset that invest in both US & Australia?

Thanks!

Hi Hannah - also graduated CBS a few years back before acquiring back home in Australia. Have since acquired a few additional businesses and also invested into traditional and self-funded searchers in Aus/elsewhere. Feel free to connect on LinkedIn if keen to chat more

I like private debt providers. FC Capital (redacted) and Arrow point capital (redacted). For equity, many people have recommended Tractor Ventures to me, however they do not invest in roll-ups/acquisitions. VCs are primarily focused on SaaS in my experience and are very difficult to get in front of (not saying that it is not possible). I think Family Offices are the correct channel to raise equity for acquisitions in Aus. I have found this article to be very useful in engaging family offices: redacted.
