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.

"Entrepreneurial Private Equity 101 – How to Buy a Company in an Emerging Market"

redactedI’ve been buying real businesses in a market most investors ignore — deal by deal, with no big fund behind me — using investors' capital and creative structures. Now I’m hosting a live session to break it all down: - How to build a team without a track record - Where to find deals in a “virgin” market - How to structure small transactions to minimize investor risk - How to raise capital as an independent sponsor - How to build trust with skeptical sellers - How to explain private equity to people who’ve never even heard of it This isn’t theory — it’s exactly what I’ve done, and continue to do. Whether you’re an operator, an aspiring investor, or just curious about private equity beyond Wall Street — this is for you! Registration fee: €50 Register here: redacted Once you register, I’ll personally send you the payment link. Looking forward to meeting you there!
