Traditional Search Fund

by a searcher from Seattle Pacific University

I am curious how the community would define a "traditional search fund". What is this and how does it compare to a non-traditional search fund?

I am personally seeking to fund an acquisition of a specific business type and size via a combination of an SBA loan, my own capital, and possibly capital from a partner.

it seems like you are thinking about using multiple sources to get the deal done. I am curious to see if you have thought about financing part of the deal with a sellers note. I recently saw a post in which the seller took 20% on a note that would be on standby for 2 years.

Great explanation Thomas. If you need assistance on the financing side, we do a fair amount of SBA lending through over 50 SBA lending partners. You can reach me here or directly at --@----.com Good luck with your search.
