CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE MARKET RANGE FOR PARTNERED SEARCH BUDGETS IN THE US?

I've been trying to find out more information on the budget for a 24 month partnered search in the U.S.. 

The 2020 Stanford Study provides ranges per Principal but doesn't separate it by solo/partnership searches.  Also, if anyone has (and is able to share) budget breakdowns by line item for partnered searches, that would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Hi there -

The HBR Guide to buying a small business has two simple budgets that show the extreme between the (perhaps) most expensive search and a much cheaper, solo search that primarily goes through a broker. Taking into account the foregone salary and benefits of each individual, they state the ranges are about $487k to $1,079k.

Check out what Jim Stein Sharpe says on his blog. That can be helpful.
