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.

Annual

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.

HVAC industry river guides

We're close to an LOI on an HVAC (with a small plumbing component) opportunity in the Midwest and are hoping to speak with industry experts who can help us with a 3-4 week diligence sprint. Specifically, we'd like to circle key questions around: i) service pricing and margins, ii) team/organization, iii) light commercial expansion, iv) building a sales organization, etc. Open to discussing compensation and/or a more formal engagement. Thanks

Hi Peter, my background is management consulting and I have done a lot of M&A and due diligence. I am currently in LOI to purchase a water & fire restoration business that is a part of a national franchise brand. Starting due diligence next week. It would be cool to share ideas and best practices as we go through this process in parallel as I have the exact same questions I am trying to answr. Send me a DM and let's connect. Best, Rob Ruoti
