Hi SearchFunder community,

I am a first-time searcher hoping to gain insights from more experienced members.

What advice do seasoned searchers and investors have for a first-time searcher like myself as I embark on this journey to acquire and operate a business?

What are some critical lessons learned, best practices, and pitfalls to avoid?

For context, I am based in Ottawa, Ontario, and seeking to acquire an established business with EBITDA ranging from $500,000 to $5,000,000. I am captalized, and so my focus is on finding the business.

Thank you.

Mike

Hi Mike,

Are you looking in Canada for companies or US-based? Also, what sector(s) are you looking to acquire? I have a huge network, so I can get you in touch with the right people.

All the best,
Stephanie P.

Thank you, Stephanie. I am looking for Canadian companies. My focus is business services, health and wellness, and manufacturing. But I am a passionate operator and interested in any business that has demonstrated traction.
