SMB Law Group just released a great overview of the equity-raising process for self-funded searchers. While it’s geared toward searchers, I think it’s just as useful for investors—especially those newer to the space.

The overview covers key topics like deal economics and governance, clarifying why deals are structured the way they are and providing good insight into how investors think. If you're looking for a concise breakdown of the process and structure of a self-funded equity raise, it's worth a read.

Going forward, I'll definitely be providing it to investors who join our network and searchers interested in raising capital from our group.

You can access the guide on SMB Law Group's website: What to Expect When Raising Capital to Buy an SMB.
