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 flexible monthly, annual and lifetime memberships.

Monthly

$79 / month

Annual

$19 / month

Lifetime

$432 / once

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.

I’ll be presenting at MIT in Boston next Wednesday, October 14!

redactedI’ve been invited to speak at the WeFranch Boston Franchise Demos event, held at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I’ll be presenting alongside representatives from four other major franchise brands, including Chick-fil-A. I’ll be sharing how we took a 45+ year-old drainage and landscape company I acquired through my self-funded search in 2024 and transformed it into a national franchise system built around two foundations: • An unrepeatable 45-year learning environment: Thousands of projects, proprietary drainage methodologies, and decades of accumulated institutional knowledge. • Elite operating infrastructure: Four integrated machines built around technology, AI, automation, offshore operations, and subcontracting, leveraging the operational experience and systems developed through my 17 years in freight brokerage, trucking, and logistics. The four machines: • Lead Flow Machine • Automation Machine • Offshore Operations Machine • Subcontracting Profit Machine For anyone in the Searchfunder community in the Boston area, it would be great to connect in person! 📍 MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory ? Wednesday, October 14 | 6–8 PM ET Event details and free registration: redacted
