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 2 flexible membership options.

Basic

$4 / month

Professional

$19 / month

Jobs are always free to browse. We're not in the business of charging students looking for internship opportunities.

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 Solo Searchers & Brokers in Canada

Hi, I'm Kirtan, a solo searcher based in Toronto. My background is in finance, operations and technology - across Big 4, banks, startups, and working directly with SME boards. I'm now looking to acquire and operate a business long-term. Would love to connect with solo searchers who are 6+ months into their journey and brokers working with businesses in the $500K–$2M EBITDA range. I'm industry agnostic and looking to swap notes and hear what you're seeing in the market. Feel free to DM me, or grab a time here if that's easier: redacted

Hey Kirtan, I'm a solo searcher in Toronto, about 6 months into my search. I've submitted a couple of LOIs and EOIs, and am currently going back and forth on an LOI for a local company. I'd be happy to chat, I'll grab some time on your calendar for a call.

Hey Kirtan, I’ve been searching out of Vancouver for about 6 months now, mostly looking at BC businesses around $1M EBITDA. I finished my MBA at Rotman this summer and have been leaning toward B2B services and distribution so far. If you’re up for a call sometime, send me a DM.
