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.

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.

Seeking investors for the acquisition of a profitable french B2B Electronics & LED Lighting company

Hello Searchfunder community, I’m a self-funded searcher and currently leading the acquisition of a well-established French SME with over 40 years of experience in electronic components distribution and high-end professional LED lighting systems design. The company serves a diversified portfolio of 400+ active B2B clients, including large industrial and corporate accounts, with a strong reputation for quality and technical expertise. To support the transaction, I am raising private debt via convertible notes. I am also open to equity participation for investors able to bring sector expertise, operational know-how, or international growth capabilities. The deal is co-financed by BPIFrance, the French public investment bank, which has already confirmed its commitment. Key Highlights: FY2024 Revenue: €6.2M Adjusted EBITDA: €410k 47% gross margin, consistent profitability (avg. net margin ~9% over past 4 years) 400+ active B2B clients, no dependency (>9% for largest customer) ISO-certified (9001 & 14001), strong ESG and CSR focus Experienced management team to support the transition for 6 months Low net debt, strong liquidity position Growth Potential: Expansion of e-commerce sales channels International market development Digitalisation of sales processes (CRM, Salesforce) Development of eco-designed, energy-efficient product lines If you are interested in learning more, please DM me here or contact me at redacted to schedule an introductory call.

Tantely, while I am not an investor, I do have over 20 years of experience in electronics manufacturing, including leading the supply chain (such as electronic components) supporting factories in North America, Latin America, and Asia. In those roles I worked closely with all levels of numerous electronic component distributors (think Arrow, Avnet, Digikey, Future, Master, Mouser, TTI, etc.). If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact me at redacted Steven Lustig
