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.

Exploring Ways to Balance Strategy and Operations in Search Funds

Hello Searchfunder Community,

As a long-time observer and active member of this community, I've seen many searchers juggle numerous responsibilities that stretch their capacity thin. Navigating a search fund requires a balance between operational tasks and strategic decision-making.

To aid in focusing more on high-value strategic activities, I'd like to share how specialized Virtual Assistant services can significantly enhance your operational efficiency.

Our trained VAs can expertly handle a variety of tasks including:

• LinkedIn outreach and building email lists
• Managing email marketing campaigns and providing tech support
• Preparing detailed reports and handling documentation
• Vetting on-market deals and managing your calendar
• Comprehensive data and CRM management

Moreover, we have successfully built and launched websites for searchers, enhancing their digital presence and credibility. Check out some of our work at redacted and redacted.

How do you currently balance the operational and strategic aspects of your search fund through interns or VAs or in-house team?

Looking forward to hearing about your strategies and experiences!
