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

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.

Hi ^redacted‌. I have not heard of Acquire before, but it appears to be an annual report of summarized transaction multiples. DealStats is a searchable database that is updated daily and reports specific details on each sold business - you can see all of the pertinent data from the acquisition for each individual transaction. This allows you to create your own summarized multiples that are relevant to your subject company or engagement, eliminating those you wish to exclude.

We also provide a summarized report as well, which we produce quarterly. It's called the DealStats Value Index. It provides an analysis of private company transactions by sector, by time period, by size, and more.

Helpful view. For those unaware, acquire.com is a marketplace for internet-based businesses (more or less) - used to be called MicroAcquire. Great resource if you’re looking to go that route. They do charge an annual membership fee for differing levels of info on specific deals. Worth it if you’re looking to buy in that space, most are good quality assets.
