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.

Capitalized, SBA approved searcher in SoCal looking for first biz acquisition. Pouring over lots of deals and hoping to get to LOI on something soon. Meanwhile, if any other searchers in the SoCal area are interested in working on some deals together, I’d be down to talk. Hit me up at redacted

Hey Jordan….I’m in OC. Been searching for six months or so and looking primarily in the residential and commercial services, IT training and service, light mfg, and marketing services spaces with businesses in the $500K to $1.5M EBITDA range. Running into lots of PE and search funds going down into the $500K range.

Hi Mike - have seen a few smaller industrial electronics mfgs and test/measurement type services for sale around the greater Simi Valley area, presumably to serve the mil/aero type customers in the area. Haven’t identified anything great yet but starting to cold outreach to owners via LinkedIn to widen the net. Let you know if I find anything.
