Does anyone have any resources or communities engaging in Search Funds in Canada? Do we have any equivalent of SBA loans here?

Not sure on the specifics of SBA loans but BDC is a great resource. They've made some really compelling offers on transactions that we've worked on.

Unfortunately, we don't have SBA loans. It's an amazing program in the US and I wish Canada would adopt something similar. I don't know of any structured Search Communities in Canada, but the ACG events tend to attract a lot of the small PE fund groups, and the M&A Club is quite useful in certain markets..
