Hi Searchfunder community!

By ways of background, I’m in the process of searching for deals in the NJ/NY/PA region. I’m currently going down the self funded search route to transition from being a w2 employee to business ownership over the course of the next few years.

As part of my search, I’m looking to network/connect with dealteam members along the way as I know its it can be a scramble down the line if the right opportunity comes around. Specifically, does anyone in the tristate region have any personal experience and can share referrals to lenders (SBA/conventional), accountants, attorneys, etc experienced in the SMB space - DMs are welcome.

Also looking to network with fellow searchers and those that have successfully closed deals in NJ going through the process that would be willing to share their experience and best practices along the way

Thanks!

^redacted‌ - Would love to connect. I’m an attorney based in NYC (but my firm also has three NJ offices) who works primarily with searchers and independent sponsors. I’ve worked on deals north of $1B and sub $5M so have a broad range of experience across various industries. I typically offer fixed/capped fees to searchers and am generally flexible with my fee structure. Shoot me a DM or email redacted and we can chat further.

If you need assistance from a financing perspective, we would love the opportunity to work with you. We are a Commercial Loan Brokerage Shop with over 500 funding partners and we lend throughout the continental US. We have many lending partners we work with in the regions you are looking at, but also partners that lend nationally as well that are likely worth considering depending on your current project. You can reach me here or directly at brad@commerciallendingx if you would like to learn more.
