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.

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.

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.

Ok I have a big deal

We have a 3m EBITDA healthcare business. 14.2M purchase price. Looking for funding options. We have a soft commitment from SBA for $5m, conventional for $4m and seller finance of $5m. But seller wants to be be ballooned after 24 months of the EBITDA being maintained. Would rather try to find things from the beginning so not looking for refinance money as early as 24 months. Also trying not to give up a ton of equity. Thank you. Karen

Hi Karen - thanks for posting. What's the current annual gross revenue? What kind of healthcare business specifically? Are you looking for silent partners or active? Where is the business located? Is the real estate that the business operates in, owned or leased? RE part of the deal? Any other details you could possibly share would be helpful. Thank you.
