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 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 Recommendations for Funding a Franchise Opportunity

Hello everyone,

I'm in the process of pursuing a reputable and long-standing franchise opportunity and would love your insights on funding options. While I plan to use an SBA loan for the majority of the funds, I'm currently looking for additional funding to cover initial franchise fees and start-up costs.

This franchise has a strong track record with solid revenue and EBITDA, as well as low overhead, according to the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). If you have any recommendations for funding sources or financial institutions that specialize in franchise funding, please share!

Thank you in advance for your help!
