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.

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.

Investor Seeking to Provide Equity for SBA Acquisition Deals

Hello Everyone! I am a 19 year old attending The Ohio State University and as the title reads I am looking to invest alongside searchers or operators pursuing SBA-backed business acquisitions. My focus is on providing the equity/liquidity needed to complement SBA financing (typically ~10-20% of the capital stack). Open to co-investments or really anything. Interested in service based businesses. Investment size 50-100k

What is your average check size and how many investments do you intend to make in 2025 ^redacted‌?

Well with this being my first dip into business acquisitions/investing I would like to stick with one maybe two investments this year. I am currently working on expanding my real estate portfolio and am balancing new capital between the two. For my first deal I would ideally like to be in the ~50k-60k investment size.
