Help on Self-Funded Search Deal Structures

by a searcher from University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School

I'm closing in on a deal and at the point where I'll be discussing the structure with my investor group and bank. How does the structure typically differ in the self-funded model relative to the traditional search? Any examples from self-funded folks on the model/structure they moved forward with?

Tom, 10% equity is required. Strong enough deal and you can get away with this amount. So to answer your question you can definitely get into a deal with 15%
