Hi, dear community.
After 3 months of looking for the next business to acquire, it has been an interesting journey from which I have learned a lot. I think one of the big challenges in this process is to keep the flow of business coming in.

If anyone has a piece of advice on how to keep the number of deals steady, I would really appreciate it. Also, I would love to talk to people who are operating Searchfund companies so we can share insights.

In these months. -We have received and analyzed around 100 deals
-We have sent 2 LOI
-We are considering 3 deals for LOI
-We had built relationships with several brokers, PE & FO We can also review the option to share business opportunities, and network.

Thank you so much!

^redacted‌ happy to connect. Just completed our first acquisition in October 2021, and completed our transition in December. We're getting close to exploring our next opportunity, and would be happy to connect to share learnings.

Also, have a team working on some software to help solve that pain point of sourcing deals, so would love to talk to you about that too. Shoot me an email redacted

Hi David, I would target deal flow from both online and offline sources eg LinkedIN posts/Sales Navigator and obtaining target company details and sending personalised letters. Hope that helps.
