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.

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.

So, I live in Germany, and from what I’ve gathered, you usually don’t need to be a local resident to access debt solutions for financing a business in Germany. But, keep in mind that different lenders might have their own rules about residency and what they look for in terms of credit history and business plans. It could be really helpful to chat with local banks or a legal expert over here. Plus, having someone local on your side might make things easier since they can help you understand the market and the rules better!
