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.

Interest in Acquiring a Franchisor? $200k - $2m EBITDA

I'm in regular contact with CEOs/owners of franchise brands as I own two franchise related companies, Visa Franchise & Vetted Biz. These franchise brands range anywhere from $200k to $2m+ in EBITDA. Generally the ones over $2M EBITDA are acquired by private equity groups. Even $1M EBITDA can be acquired by a PE backed platform company for a 7-10X multiple.

Are any searchers interested in buying a franchisor? This would entail owning the franchise brand and possibly the corporate units connected with the brand.

I'd like to figure out a way to make a win-win-win for you (the searcher), the seller (franchise brand) and me (advisor).

Also, I am interested to hear from the community on ways for an advisor like myself to be compensated upfront or overtime advising on the continued franchise operation...
