As we know from recent studies published, 1 out of every 3 search funders fails to acquire a business. This data was gathered across "traditional" search funds in the U.S and Canada.

There is not a lot of data around "self-funded" searcher success. So, if you have conducted a self-funded search and either (i) acquired a business or (ii) not acquired a business, I encourage you to take the below survey in an effort to assist your fellow searchers!
