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.

We’re under LOI on a profitable manufacturing company based in Montreal, Canada and are seeking an equity partner for the cashdown. Quick facts (FY2025): - Normalized EBITDA: $2,000,000 - Purchase price: $8–10M (around 4–5× EBITDA) - Structure: Senior debt, junior debt and equity (including seller’s note and cashdown) Deal Opportunities: - Seller is retiring but willing to stay in the company for the next 3 years (smooth transition + strong continuity) - No advanced proprietary tech, lean operations with standard accounting software - Limited automation in processes → clear upside for efficiency gains - No structured business development to date (operates mainly on an existing client base) → significant growth potential If interested, please DM and we’ll set up a call.
