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

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.

First Post! Looking for brokers in NY/NJ

My name is Jason Seo, and I’m actively searching to acquire and operate a small business in the $2M–$4M revenue range, with a target purchase price up to $3.5M. I’m particularly interested in B2B service businesses in sectors like HVAC, commercial cleaning, specialty trades, home services, and other recurring-revenue models. I bring over 20 years of experience in enterprise sales and deal negotiation, and I’m prepared to move quickly with a capital structure that includes SBA financing, seller financing, and personal equity (10–20% down). Here's a quick summary of my buy box: Industries: B2B services, HVAC, home services, niche construction, packaging/logistics Geography: Within 50 miles of NYC or remote-friendly Financials: $2M–$4M revenue, $500K–$1M SDE Deal size: Up to $3.5M Capital: Up to $500K equity Structure: Open to creative deals (seller notes, earnouts, etc.) If anyone can assist on introducing me to great brokers in the area. I would appreciate it!

Hi ^redacted‌ - We would love to get you SBA financing for this deal. We are a large SBA loan brokerage and specialize in home service SBA deals. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pays us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you. Depending on the DSCR, I think this deal might qualify for excellent pricing (p+0.5% to p+1%). You can reach me here or directly at redacted You can also click here to schedule a meeting with me: redacted. Look forward to chatting!
