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

$29 / 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.

Investment from CGS Partners - Connecting with Self-Funded Searchers

CGS Partners is actively investing in self-funded search acquisitions. If you're currently under LOI, and beginning the fundraising process, we'd welcome the opportunity to connect and learn more about your transaction. Our primary areas of interest include specialty service businesses and value-added product distribution companies with strong market positions. While our focus is primarily on opportunities throughout the Midwest, we remain open to exceptional businesses in other regions. Businesses with an EBITA/SDE range of 400k to 800k is what usually where our investment can have the biggest impact. At CGS Partners, we strive to be a drama-free, entrepreneur-friendly investment partner. We believe operators should have the autonomy to run their businesses, and we provide support where it creates the most value. Our investor-expertise spans customer relationship management, logistics and distribution, product development, strategic planning and execution, operations, and e-commerce. If you'd like to discuss your acquisition and fundraising plans, we'd be happy to start a conversation! Contact: redacted Alex Gilbert CGS Partners
