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.

Looking to get hands-on experience in the ETA world!

Hello ETA Community!

As an aspiring and enthusiastic searcher, I am looking for opportunities to intern/work with current searchers on a part-time basis. I am not looking for compensation but rather would love to get hands-on experience in the search process, and learn from people that have experience in this industry.

I have some relevant experience working in both corporate and startup organizations, specifically in Finance. I believe my unique background, as well as my hard and soft skills would allow me to add value to my potential partner.

I would be very grateful if you know someone who I could contact or if you know someone who could need/use my help.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon and thank you in advance for your partnership and support on this matter.

Sincerely,
Pablo Prosperi
Aspiring Searcher
