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.

Anyone with experience in Behavioral Health acquisitons

I’m exploring an acquisition in behavioral health and looking to speak with searchers, ETA operators, financiers, or former owners who have completed transactions in this space. Specifically interested in deals involving: • Outpatient behavioral health / counseling practices • Absentee or partially absentee ownership transitions • Payer mix vs. cash-pay lessons learned • Compliance surprises post-acquisition • Credentialing and billing transfer issues • Staff retention, turnover management, and clinical leadership If you’ve acquired or exited a business in this vertical, I’d appreciate the chance to compare notes. Comments or DMs welcome.

Hi ^redacted‌ - nice to meet you. I have successfully financed multiple businesses in this area via the SBA. I know how to navigate these deals, especially if we need a solution for licensing. If you ever need help talking through a acquisition, I am happy to help. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pays us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you. You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: redacted. Look forward to chatting!
