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.

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.

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.

SBA 7a Lenders in 2023

Who are the lowest cost SBA 7a lenders currently? Who is most likely to have a structure that is flat / 0 bps over WSJ Prime?

It seems like 7a leadership has shifted with prepandemic and mid-pandemic leaders retracting from the current market. Those that were printing loans previously are all but silent.

Is the best bet to pursue regional banks for a regional acquisition? Has anyone gotten a recent grid comparison of the major SBA lenders? Who is active and aggressive?
