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.

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.

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 (QoE)

Hi everyone! I know there's been a lot of discussions about QoEs on here so we sat down with our in-house CPA team to put together a post on what constitutes a QoE, when you should get one, etc. and got some pretty good feedback on it.

We posted it almost a year ago but I realize I never shared it on here so figured I'd do that as it'd be helpful to at least a few!

It's a pretty quick read but packed with information so I'd definitely recommend checking it out:
