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 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.

Alternative to SBA loan (Austin, TX)

My goal is to acquire a few local businesses that I can grow and use to serve the community. I recently was working on a deal in Austin, TX area, but the SBA bank I was working with wants me to either leave corporate now or buy in tech, which would be a conflict of interest at this time. Do you happen to know of any non-traditional financing options for acquisitions?

I would be happy to have a discussion. We provide conventional, non-bank, and SBA lending. I would look at all options. Also, it sounds like you might not have been with the right SBA lender. You can reach me here or directly at redacted
