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.

Looking to connect with Home Service Business Owners

Who already owns a home service business but is looking to expand via acquisition or organic growth? What tools are you using for automation, lead followup, or scheduling to reduce load on team and capture leads more easily? Curious what is working and what's not. Anyone using some of the newer AI chatbots/voice agents? What is your experience with those? TIA Cheers

If your company is already on G Suite, google cloud has solid AI support tools through vertex AI. Heavier lift than simple tools like Make.com and Zapier, but also much more scalable. I live in Boulder area too btw.

Luke, I appreciate the tag. I am just starting a buy and build strategy in the disaster restoration space, but I haven't yet gotten into using AI other than to identify targets, which seems hit and miss. Most of my outreach has been direct to brokers and business owners, but I would love to hear what others are doing with AI and other tools to assist. I'm happy to connect with anyone and share my insights.
