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.

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 loan or direct bank financing - 10M Rev, 1.1M EBITDA

Conducting due diligence on acquisition of 18 chiro clincs, with 10M Rev and 1.1 EBITDA.
My partner is a Doctor of Chiro and owns a similar franchise, so very familiar with the operations.

What would be the best financing vehicle - SBA loan or go with direct bank financing.

I have heard horror stories of exceptionally long approval times with SBA but in the current market a variable rate may make sense, as opposed to a fixed rate from a bank.

Thoughts?
