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.

Want to join a Texas searcher peer group?

Hi there, I am a BCG alum and ex-healthcare executive who launched his full-time self-funded search 60 days ago in Texas. I am looking for a diverse set of searchers in Texas to share best practices and keep each other accountable. To keep high level of engagement and enable open discussion, group will be capped at 5-7 searchers maximum.

Why join? Better outcomes, fun, lifelong relationships • Searchers in peer groups achieve better outcomes (according to all ex-searchers I have spoken to). • It is fun and less lonely with a peer group • The relationships you built will benefit you well beyond your search • You get to test/brainstorm ideas and get peer feedback • You get to learn from how others think, and can apply insights to your own search

What to expect? • Meet once a month, mostly virtual (+ in-person if searchers based in Dallas) • Structured agenda with topics agreed upon in previous session • Sharing of best practices and failures/learnings with each other • Safe space and support network, with commitment to attend and help each other succeed

How to enroll/apply? • Send me an email at redacted and reply to this thread to boost visibility for Texas searchers ;) • Will send you a quick survey to understand your experience and goals to ensure fit across the group
