Hi Search Community, I was recently approached by someone interested in partnering on a search in the UK (originally from here and grew up here). Online and most research that I've seen seems to cover this model in the US. For any UK searchers, I would love to learn more about how the market here differs, how sourcing capital has been, and other general advice you might have specific to search here.

The podcast Buy and Build by Paul Quirk is a good resource for everyone interested in a search in the UK - plenty of examples of successful acquisitions.

as well as the Buy and Build podcast its worth checking out the website of Gerald Edelman who organise the UK ETA awards, lots of good links there
