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?

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.

Solar contracting acquisition advice

Hey Y’all,

looking to connect with anyone who has purchased a solar contracting company in California recently. I am looking into one and would love to get some insight if possible. They do commercial and residential. ~3m in rev per year.

Thanks again!

Hi ^redacted‌ curious if you acquired your target solar company. Either way, would love to hear about your experience. Thanks.

James I did not. CA changed some of the rates and the folks I spoke to in the industry stated it would be a pretty tough road for the customers the company was serving. I’m sure there are some commercial solar shops and installers that are doing very well though.
