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.

RVA ETA Meetup (Richmond, VA)

· Basic City Beer Co. Southside RVA, West 6th Street, Richmond, VA, USA

Join us on the first Wednesday of every month at Basic City Brewery for a casual, low-key gathering designed to connect and grow the Richmond ETA (Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition) community. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or a seasoned investor, this meetup offers a chance to learn, share, and build relationships with others in the ETA space. This group is for anyone involved in or curious about ETA, including: ➡️ Aspiring entrepreneurs looking to acquire and run a small business ➡️ SMB owners interested in scaling or preparing for a sale ➡️ Professionals with legal, financial, or deal-related expertise ➡️ Individuals early in their ETA journey who want to learn from others The format includes open networking, a short panel discussion or fireside chat, and more time for connection afterward. Come for the conversation, stay for the connections. The search and post-acquisition journey can be challenging, but together, the ETA community is a powerful support network. We hope to see you there. redacted

This will be the first one! I was talking to someone who moved from Denver and we realized there isn’t an ETA meetup in RVA. Basic city has parking and good beer and they aren’t charging me so seemed like a win win!

Josh - I’m going to mail out after the meeting so feel free to message me your email. I will be hosting these on the first Wednesday or every month so no worries if you can’t make this one. Thanks!
