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.

Looking for an operator partner for a construction biz in MA

Keeping it short and sweet:

Great business, perfect opportunity to merge with my existing company in central MA. Lots of synergies to capitalize on where 1+1>3
Have done a site visit, amazing company, business is run better than most in the space.
very financeable w/ SBA

The problem comes down to location. It's not far at all from my existing company, but I don't have staff that can take over from the owner. I can't do it because I have a fund to run full time. I need a partner who can go in on this with me and be an operational partner.

The right person needs to be able to obtain a MA contractor's license (or ideally already has one), has decent credit (because we will have to get bonded and I believe that will come into play), is comfortable doing estimates for residential and commercial construction, and - most importantly - can commit to being on site in central / Western MA for a significant time.

I have people in my network that I've spoken to about it, and no one is able to commit to the location, since it is a bit out of the way.

DM me. don't know how long the window of opportunity here will be open.

If this isn't you but you can recommend someone, and that person works out and we buy the business together I would be willing to compensate

Would be happy to discuss SBA financing if you are able to find a partner. Good luck!
