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 2 flexible membership options.

Basic

$4 / month

Professional

$19 / month

Jobs are always free to browse. We're not in the business of charging students looking for internship opportunities.

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.

Find the right firm to sell your business with Clinton Lee

I'm happy to have Clinton Lee, founder of UKBusinessBrokers.com, join me to discuss how business owners can find the right broker or M&A advisory firm. We'll explore the differences between business brokers and M&A advisors, why industry experience and deal size matter, and how to verify an advisor's track record instead of relying on advertised success rates. We'll also cover advisory fees, negotiation strategies, and the importance of selecting a firm that understands your business and potential buyers. This is a must-see conversation for business owners preparing to sell and anyone interested in business valuations, exit planning, or mergers and acquisitions. **** CHAPTERS 0:00 Selecting the Right Firm to Sell Your Business 3:12 The Unique Role of a Fractional M&A Consultant 6:02 The Landscape of the UK M&A Market 7:19 Defining the Mid-Market Threshold 10:23 Broker vs. M&A Firm: Spotting the Difference 18:05 The Pros and Cons of Sector Expertise 21:24 Why You Should Question Quoted Success Rates 37:01 Decoding Mid-Market Fee Structures ****
