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.

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.

Looking for SBA lenders

I'm building out our lender network and looking for intros to SBA 7(a) and acquisition-focused lenders. Lenders we've worked with include Live Oak, Huntington, Ready Capital, First Internet Bank, First Business Bank, Newtek, and First Merchants (formerly First Savings). I'm looking for lenders in that same lane: National SBA preferred lenders (PLP) comfortable with goodwill-heavy acquisition deals Deal sizes of roughly $500K to $10M, plus pari passu or combo structures above that Experience with partner buyouts, seller notes on standby, and equity rollovers Credit unions, community banks, or non-bank lenders with an active acquisition book If you've had a good experience with a BDO recently, especially someone responsive who closes on time, I'd love a name or an intro. I'm also happy to share our experience with any of the lenders above if it helps anyone here. Thanks in advance.
