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 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.

I agree with Ishan that the primary credit decision and risk based pricing is going to be off the business you are acquiring. Assuming the business and structure meet all standard underwriting criteria, both options present the opportunity for attractive financing. Quite frankly, it depends on the individual lender based on which one would prefer each situation. I would be happy to get on a call to walk through this. You can reach me here or directly at redacted We have some pretty aggressive lending partners offering some strong pricing at the moment.

Yeah agreed with the above. It depends what that networth consists of, but both would likely make for an attractive buyer if the target business is also a quality business you can run
