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.

New Searcher in the Greater Cleveland Area.

Hello, my name is William Selig, and I am a searcher looking to acquire a business in the Greater Cleveland/Northeast Ohio area. With a background in healthcare management, I bring strong skills in operations, team leadership, and financial oversight. While my experience is rooted in healthcare, I am open to exploring opportunities in other industries, as I am eager to apply my expertise to a new venture. As someone new to the business acquisition process, I am enthusiastic about learning and would greatly appreciate any guidance, resources, or opportunities to connect with sellers or advisors in the region. Thank you for any support you can provide as I embark on this exciting journey!

Hi William, I would recommend checking out Promise Partners in the Cleveland area. There are plenty of members who have acquired and are actively acquiring businesses. They also help put on an ETA conference at Case Western - a great event if you're just starting to learn to search! Best of luck to you.
