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 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.

Everything you need to know about a Quality of Earnings

Hey everyone! I've seen quite a few posts regarding Quality of Earnings (QoE) reports — both general questions and interest in obtaining one — so we recently put together a blog post that dives into the following questions:

— What exactly is a Quality of Earnings report?

— Do I need a Quality of Earnings Report for my prospective business?

— What is the scope of a Quality of Earnings?

— Are there different types of QoE reports?

— What does a QoE Report not include?

— If I get a QoE Report for my prospective business, do I still need to do any other due diligence?

redacted. Hope you all find this useful and happy to address any questions in the comments below or via email at redacted
