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

Those who maintain an account with us for over 4 continuous years are permanently added to the community without the need for a membership.

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.

I'm looking to create a comprehensive list of companies in certain verticals of commercial construction in the Austin area. Does anyone know the best way to put this list together or sources that would have this? Ideally it would have revenue and employee count as well. Thanks!

depends on where you want? I know of a service in germany where you get curated lists. in austria, its mostly self search. but often you get pretty good industry lists from the government side. they are online for everybody.

^redacted‌, I highly recommend checking out the "Data Axle Companies" resource built here w/in Searchfunder. if you're on desktop, it's at the top of your screen and really easy to use. If you're interested in having a bit more control over the data, I would recommend looking at our other service Salesgenie.com. Salesgenie is a cost effective service that you can use to build targeted lists by industry, employee size, and annual sales, along with many more filters. Happy to answer any questions you have. There are approxredactedCommercial Construction & Special Trade Contractors in the Austin metro area.
