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.

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.

EBITDA:

Oak Stream Partners is sponsoring the simultaneous (or rapid sequential) acquisition of two independent-retail service-contract administrators—one in appliances and one in furniture with a dealer-owned captive. Combined entry is $59.1mm EV (7.5x / 7.85x on current cash EBITDA). The base case takes ~65% of identified initiatives into the P&L, assumes a return to historical 8% organic growth after a flat 2026, and models a 10x Year-5 exit on ~$17.4mm of combined EBITDA. That produces roughly 3.7x MOIC and ~30% IRR on the new sponsor equity check of ~$35mm (plus $19.5mm of new debt at 2.5x). The case excludes the add-on pipeline and a new product aisle. Both owners are collaborating, cash is currently constrained by runoff obligations and an ESOP that will be paid at close, and the plan is a recap to restore prior sales coverage while unlocking new economics.
