My partner and I are looking for a business between $500k-1M EBITDA. I recently looked at the listings on axial.net and it looks like there are a few listings not available on bizbuysell and a few other sites. Their pricing structure looks pretty expensive though (5% on the first $1M, then 4% on the next $1M, etc.).

What has been your experience with Axial? Is it worth the price tag? Thank you!

Who pays the success fee (out of buyer pocket, lenders, LPs?) do LPs mind it? I might think they’d dislike such high fees as % of equity check - curious if anyone’s gotten real feedback

Agreed it's probably worth going for if you're sourcing through intermediaries. It's typically a success fee model so there's no $ cost unless you're actually closing a deal sourced through them. Helpful to get you in the flow of evaluating deals, particularly early on. The art is in the industry/other deal filters to ensure what you're seeing is relevant for your search.
