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.

ETA Resources to share with spouse

Does anybody have any recommendations on easy to digest resources to share the benefits of purchasing a business with a significant other? Specifically, I have a self funded deal I am looking at that is on the small side, but fulfills my discretionary earnings requirements while being able to service debt and have a buffer. I know about the Acquiring Minds podcast, but appreciate advice on a specific episode that addresses concerns or other ideas. I greatly appreciate your recommendations.

It’s a great idea to get your spouse involved in the process early on. Good on you! Your spouse is welcome to join our weekly office hours on all things SBA financing (WEDS) and our cashflow modeling session (THURS). Would be good for getting a tactical understanding of how to think about good deals. Email for links to register. redacted

Our WAEE (Our Women's Acquisition Entrepreneur Ecosystem) has a weekly call on Mondays for women that would be a great place for your wife to learn & ask questions. The link to register is on the events page.
