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

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.

Opinion of Best Deal Sites & Value for Paid Ones

Hi, I am starting to develop my searching habits including which deal sites to check and how frequently. I therefore wanted to see which deal sites people use. Obviously there is BizBuySell, but I'm also curious about: 1. What other sites people prefer and why, for example: Kumo, Axial, DealMatch, DealStream, Rejigg, etc. 2. How many sites do people feel it is worth checking before you just start seeing the same deals across all of them? 3. How frequently do you check the sites for new postings? 4. Of the paid ones, how many people find them worth the cost and why/why not?

Calling up and maintaining relationships with local brokers is critical. Helps you learn the most important part of the role which is acting with urgency.
