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.

Does anyone have any experience acquiring a business on either of these platforms or others like them? Does a membership subscription offer additional value? Have you used their due diligence services to evaluate the opportunities? Recommendations/advice...

A bit late to the party but Rapid Diligence also provides due diligence services focused on operational, technical, and financial due diligence for online businesses (eCommerce/SaaS/content).

We've worked pretty frequently with Empire Flippers and other brokers to help their buyers with due diligence on deals. Feel free to check us out at RapidDiligence.com or shoot me an email at redacted with any questions.

I have great experience with both. I used Investors Club deal sourcing service in 2020 to acquire a content website business that we own currently.

And in 2021, I worked with Empire Flippers to sell an eCommerce business that I started in 2018.

Both were great to work with. I will say that I believe Investors Club has sold and I'm not sure who currently owns them, and not sure if their service is the same as it was a couple years ago.
