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.

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.

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.

FBA Amazom Stores

Hi All, I see quite a few listings for FBA Amazon stores. Many of them are priced quite competitively. Is this a business worth acquiring? are there red flags in FBA stores that one should be aware of or should we avoid them altogether?

thanks

Do you remember how insecure you felt if you were employed by a company, or anywhere? My bet is you'll feel the same way, or worse, if you own a business that someone else can extinguish with a click of a mouse or keypad. Such as Amazon.

What are they offering you? An inimitable product that is doing well on Amazon? That might work, but take into account what others said here - Amazon can pull the rug from under you at any time. The Seller Central platform, compliance, account health, support - their tech and people are very difficult to deal with. Random compliance warnings, account freezes, cryptic messages with unclear instructions, and on top of it limited support of the worst kind. Read about sellers' experience on Reddit. Lots of red flags.
Also, if you are offered a shop with gimmicks and tons of customer reviews, beware that certain enterprising individuals pay people to order their merchandise to inflate reviews and sales, with a sole purpose to sell the shop. Can't trust their stats. Only go for a product you absolutely believe in.
