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

$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.

There are about 2500 self-described Investors on Searchfunder and you can find them in the Investor Directory here: redacted

The Directory is sorted by most active. Some of the more established investors have Star Ratings with reviews & endorsements from the community. Many Investors list their Searchfund investments on their full profile page, which you can access by clicking pretty much anywhere on the pop-up cards.

Investors don't tend to comment that often on posts of this type, but they are increasingly making posts of the form "Investor seeking Searchers" and you can find quite a few of these posts and you are welcome to comment when appropriate.

And of course, please post whenever you have a deal under LOI and I can tag the relevant investors that match.

If you have additional questions, please post them and I'll do my best to make sure they get answered by your peers.
