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.

Purchasing lists

Hello Everyone,

Question, do you all have an idea of where I could potentially purchase a list with local business owners (CPAs, Attorneys, Wealth Advisors, etc. etc.) in my area?

Any feedback on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Commercial Data Providers: There are companies that specialize in compiling and selling business lists based on various criteria, including location and industry. Examples include InfoUSA, Dun & Bradstreet, and Hoovers. These providers often offer databases that can be filtered by specific professions and geographic areas. Chamber of Commerce and Professional Associations: Local chambers of commerce and professional associations (like bar associations for attorneys or CPA societies) sometimes provide member directories that you can access. Membership directories are often available for purchase or can be accessed by joining the organization. Online Directories and Social Media: Platforms like LinkedIn allow you to search for professionals based on location and industry. You can use advanced search filters to find specific types of professionals in your area. Other online directories like Yelp or Yellow Pages might also provide some information, although typically not as comprehensive or specialized. Networking and Referrals: Sometimes the most effective way to find local business owners is through networking. Attend local business events, seminars, or conferences related to finance, law, or wealth management. Building relationships can lead to referrals or introductions to relevant professionals. Local Business Directories: Local newspapers, business journals, or city-specific business directories often list local businesses, including professionals like CPAs and attorneys. These can sometimes be accessed online or in print.
