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.

Brokers listing digital businesses

Has anyone had experience acquiring a business using online business-focused brokers?

We've come across a couple such as FE International, Website Closers, QuietLight and Torro Group during our search but would love to hear additional recommendations.

Appreciate any help.

^redacted‌ So many businesses I've look at from there were complete trash, declining, etc.. I saw one business listed for like $250k. Then after iOS updates, the business was losing money as they couldn't make paid ads work. So I laid out the facts and ask them if they're really selling an unprofitable business for $250k, and they responded that I can feel free to make an offer of $10k for it. I personally don't trust them. A lot of the businesses I have looked from there also had rounded figures and not real numbers.

Yes - I have acquired a few businesses from QuietLight and Empire Flippers (which does not work anymore). you also have a ton of other brokers who have been really good in selling digital assets (larger ones) like TwoRoads for instance. Happy to make intro if needed
