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.

D2P Trade Shows are a valuable resource for your Research / DD into the Job Shop / OEM Segments

The "Design-2-Part (D2P)" Trade Shows are held regionally throughout the year across the US and can be a valuable resource as a part of your Research / DD into the Job Shop / OEM / Contract Manufacturing segments. Attendance is always Free~ I always attend the Southern California events, this week was in Long Beach and it was quite productive. D2P Shows Home Page: redactedredacted

Thanks Luke for tagging me on this. I have been to one in Irving, TX this year. It’s a phenomenal show and a great opportunity to learn and discover different aspects of manufacturing- materials, machining, technology, etc., Another resource that I found valuable is d2p supplier directory. Don’t forget to grab one when you head back!

Hey Greg! I've been to D2P as an attendee and also to showcase our company. Definitely a place you want to be to meet mostly small to mid size companies, often times the owners are there.
