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.

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.

Tax & Legal Help

I"m acquiring Company A via SBA loan

- Purchased by my ABC Holding Company (C Corp)- I own 100% of the shares

2-3 months later I'll be acquiring Company B via Private Lender. The funds from this private lender are to acquire both Company A & Company B, paying off the SBA loan for Company A immediately. The only purpose of acquiring company A with SBA loan earlier is due to timing. The seller doesn't and won't wait another 2-3 months to close.

- Purchased by DEF Holding Company (C Corp) with 4 partners

DEF Holding Company will then own both Company A & Company B

The Question- What is the most tax efficient way to do this for me?

Thanks for the tag, ^redacted‌, like Jeppe, I prefer to not opine on tax issues. I do have a great tax lawyer with whom we work closely.
