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.

SMB Model - Lost

Does anyone have their own copy of the famous Sam Rosati Acquiring Minds model spreadsheet and are willing to share it. The main link I was sent now limits the access: redacted

Hey ^redacted‌ I was using that model too but then lost access and switched over to ETA IQ's model (redacted and found it captured everything in Sam Rosati's model and more.

Hi Jonathan! Thanks for your kind words about the model. You're right that the old link no longer works, as we removed access to the original version because we've since rebuilt and significantly improved it based on a lot of community feedback. Rather than having folks working off an outdated version, we wanted everyone to use the current one. The updated model is available to our SMBootcamp community members through DIY Essentials, and it's grown into much more than just the model. If you're interested, you can check it out here: redacted. Happy to answer further questions!
