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.

Gabriel, I have a client that has a signed contract for the acquisition of a transportation and logistics company in Australia. The acquisition funding amount needed is 20,000,000 AUD. If you can assist with the needed funding, I will send the Executive Summary and Financing Proposal. Reply to redacted

I started SBA Loan Lab after a decade of small business lending at Live Oak Bank. I offer a concierge debt advisory and brokerage service where we are not beholden to a single lender's credit box or balance sheet sensitivities. I help my clients get the best terms with the best lenders, oriented around maximizing certainty of outcome. My deal sizes range from 500K to 10MM. While I primarily focus on SBA 7(a) debt, I am increasingly taking on more non-SBA opportunities depending on fit and size. I have a growing network on both bank and non-bank lenders, including investors, private equity, family officers, and private debt funds/SBICs. I specialize in the professional services space (CPAs/accounting/tax, insurance, investment advisory, etc.), and the majority of the deals I work on are M&A, but also have experience with CRE, debt refi, recaps, and working capital transactions. Feel free to connect at redacted or at redacted.
