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.

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.

While we are primarily a buy-side network, we do have hundreds of brokers that regularly post deals to the community.

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.

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 sellside brokers

I am a seasoned operator and sole searcher looking to do my first acquisition. I am eager to connect with business brokers who might have off market deal flow to share with me. I'm looking for a circa $2M acquisition with at least $500K of SDE. I plan to do an SBA loan financed transaction. Does the list of Intermediaries on SearcherFunder's website comprise all brokers and do they want to be contacted by buyers? Is there a good list of the best brokers ideally with contact information? Any such brokers are welcome to contact me at rick@samphire,capital

Thanks for the tag, Luke.

Our approach for non-listed flow was to search LinkedIn for our connections in the M&A space for warm intros. We have also looked to deal aggregator sites and have over time seen more flow from these brokers beyond their public listings. Would recommend actually talking to the public listers via phone to see opportunities they haven't listed/won't list.
