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

Annual

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.

Quality of Earnings for UK

I am looking for someone to review the quality of earnings of 2-3 opportunities I am considering in the UK. They range from £250k to £1.5m EBITDA and tend to be relatively asset light consultancies or property service businesses. Having bought 17 companies over the last 15 years I have always undertaken a review and forecast with my accountant but believe there is a better option by employing a specialist. Please could the Searchfunder community advise on: 1. What are the key attributes the review should include? 2. What information will the advisor require? 3. How much should I expect to pay? 4. How long would the process take? I am expecting this to be a fairly light touch process.

@carl has already pinged above. GE are the leading CF folks specialising in ETA in the UK and can do QoE with their eyes closed. Also worth chatting to George Thresh at Buzzacott.
