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.

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.

Diligencing high end AV/home integration

Hi all, I'm working on a proprietary deal with a great owner in the high end home automation/integration industry. They do whole home integration of AV, security, fire, climate, etc. for extremely high end homes ($Ms++).

Does anyone have experience in the Home AV/integration industry and would be willing to speak about the competitive dynamics, growth opportunities (such as pushing into maintenance contracts), and how to optimize operations?

Thanks!

Thanks, ^redacted‌. Like many/most deals, this is a very niche part of a large and diverse market. I'll take a look at general market research as well, but I was really hoping someone on here has looked into this niche (or close to it, e.g. commercial A/V and integration). Thanks!
