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.

Cameron: It is nice to meet you. Welcome!

My background: I’m a new self-fund searcher, but I’ve been educated in the acquisition process by Build then Build’s Acquisition Lab workshop. I started a service marketplace for a new niche market in personal development. Using the platform business model, and after learning about acquisitions. I am searching for the right strategic acquisition.

Are you no longer looking to invest into any new business deals? My team and I are seeking to buy a coaching or media business generating $500K-$1M in SDE (or EBITDA) in the personal development market.We want to leverage its staff and service by combining it with our startup initiative.Our dream is to create the world’s most proactive culture and experience. Our vision is Findaway empowering billions of lives. We want to accomplish the full scalability of a Platform Business Model (e.g., Airbnb, Handy, Fiverr, Uber), but start with the acquisition of a healthy cash-flowing business.We're looking for the right investors and partners where these "types of possibilities" and “creativity” excite them. We are funding our own search as well as the due diligence. We want to raise funds to close on the acquisition in exchange for 30% equity (like a seed round, but without the 90% failure rate).You’re probably not excited at all about anything that I just described. But in case I’m wrong, let me know when is a good time to connect with you on the phone.
