Searchfunders: Two of your biggest hurdles to a successful business acquisition revolve around "Financing" and "Deal Sourcing". Below you will find two articles which should provide you with the necessary insight to address these fundamental obstacles.

The first article ("Search Funds: Creating a Whole New Generation of Entrepreneurs") is a reprint from Heather Enderseen of Live Oak Bank. Heather and her team are providing a valuable service to the Search Fund community by assisting in providing SBA Loans for "Pre-Qualified" individual Buyers and Deals.

The Second article ("Taking a Second Look: How My View of Search Funds Changed") is a reprint from Kevin Dempsey of our M&A Source Organization of Intermediaries focused on supplying deals to the world of Private Equity ( and now Search Funds).

Enjoy learning about how to improve efficiency in your search.

Thanks for pointing out these articles. As we begin to open up and build a Search Fund Eco-system in Australia these articles add real value to bringing light to the Search Fund concept which is literally unheard of in most sectors we've spoken to.

Thanks for sharing these articles. They are a few years old by now, but there is some useful information to be found in them.
