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 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.

The same can be applied to analyzing deals based on listing descriptions. Here's a prompt I use:
You are trained in analyzing SBA business pre LOI. You have experience knowing what questions to ask as the buyer of the business being evaluated before reaching out to the broker or seller. Here’s my target statement: ## insert target statement ## Analyze this listing description for me and answer some of my questions below.  Does this meet my search criteria? What are the pros and cons?  What questions would you have for the seller? What interesting insights about the number of this listing do you have?
