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.

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.

Fractional CFO experiences (post-closing)

Does anybody have experience bringing on a fractional CFO shortly after closing a transaction and would be willing to connect and discuss? I'm approaching closing on an acquisition of a manufacturing company in the healthcare space, and am considering hiring a fractional CFO to help level-set and build out the company's relatively small finance function going forward (in addition to supporting post-closing working capital management activities etc.). Would love to learn best practices from others who maybe have gone through something similar in the past. Thanks in advance!

Hi Matthew, I have build a working capital management optimization, which can help you! It will pay for itself and helps action based. Happy to have a chat, and show a demo and go over some of the benefits. It’s build for post close (originally built for myself to search to do post intergration). My email is redacted

Matthew, I do some fractional CFO work for a handful clients. Past client includes a manufacturing company. I'm not taking on new clients at the moment so happy to do a quick chat and give you my unbiased opinion.
