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.

I am a cis- white- male. I acknowledge the privilege that I have received.

I acquired an education - and funding - and a target acquisition - because of that privilege.

Entrepreneurship through acquisition is the best risk-adjusted launchpad for generational wealth transition that I know of.

I want to help. It is time to talk about how we use our platform, privilege, and knowledge for the greater good. I would like to start that conversation here.

Scott, I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you for being considerate of other humans. My life plan is to aid in the rebuilding of destroyed communities of Black wealth like Black Wall St in Tulsa. There's no doubt that some will always despise and hate others who look don't like them and their efforts to harm will just mutate as they've done in every generation past. But there's major opportunity both on the searcher side and on the investor side to completely reshape the societal narrative and make handsome profits in the meantime. Would love to connect with you redacted

SBA keeps stats on ethnicity and gender, and it has been clear for many years that we need more diversity in small business ownership in this country. I am always especially pleased when we can help someone become a CEO, but there is a feeling of doing my part whenever we help a person of color or a woman become a CEO....I am always certain they will do things that go above and beyond to improve their industries and communities.
