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

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.

Lawyers and Accountant recommendations please!!

Hi, we are on the verge of going under contract with a healthcare software company, but are concerned that the seller may get cold feet due to several comments he made in diligence. Can anyone point me to:

1) Lawyers who would do a PSA but waive fees in the instance of the seller walking away?
2) Accountants who would do a accounting study that dives into the ARR and revenue recognition of the business

(there is no EBITDA).

Thank you

I agree with the post above. Better to spend the time up front to make sure you have a deal and a seller that is comfortable moving forward. The legal work can be staged to keep things efficient (e.g., the PSA isn't terribly time consuming, but legal due diligence can be). As to fee waivers, I work with searchers and will defer fees until closing and also provide broken deal fee waivers. The exact arrangement depends on the size of the deal and other variables. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss further.

Hey Tyson - I am just starting the process in healthcare and have heard good things about Geoff Cockrell. Have you worked with him? Would you recommend him? I have actually worked with some of his client before (on the PE side) from past lives and he looks like he is well versed. Thanks in advance!
