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

Annual

Lifetime

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.

Is anyone familiar with the new SBA loan rules? I have recently seen a SBA deal wtih 5% equity down and one with 0% equity down. I think now you can use whatever structure or rollover equity amount you want? Can somoeone help me confirm?

(As another quick technical point - and as folks have well noted, it’s going to be the lending bank that makes the ultimate call - but SBA regs would also permit that certain transaction expenses, e.g., professional fees, can be applied against an equity injection concept)

Live Oak Bank and ZimpleMoney have teamed up to allow for contingent seller financing terms that will get more deals done. Reach out to Live Oak Bank and use ZimpleMoney for #sellernote #sellerfinancing. Our goal is to give buyers and sellers more flexibility and more closed deals.
