Frequent asked questions:

What is Searchfunder.com?

Searchfunder.com is an online community of searchers, investors, lenders, brokers and other professionals. Over 80% of those involved in searchfunds maintain a Searchfunder account to help them network, hire, and mentor others.

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.

Do you have deals?

While we are primarily a buy-side network, we do have hundreds of brokers that regularly post deals to the community.

Can I find an internship on Searchfunder?

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.

What does it cost?

Searchfunder is a subscription service. We offer flexible monthly, annual and lifetime memberships.

Monthly

$79 / month

Annual

$19 / month

Lifetime

$432 / once

Those who maintain an account with us for over 4 continuous years are permanently added to the community without the need for a membership.

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.

Veteran Call

To the Veterans on Searchfunder -

A few years ago, I had considered buying a small company. I had no clue what I was doing. Did I need an MBA? Was I qualified?

Are you curious about EtA? Do you have a deal under LOI? Is a traditional or self-funded search something you are considering? How would you raise funds to buy a business? I'm not selling a course, I'm not raising a fund, and I'm not selling a service! Instead, I want to connect the curious veterans with other vets that have done it. I want to help others succeed in this crazy endeavor.

Join our call. Send me something that proves you are a veteran, and join our veteran EtA call on Friday. redacted credit to all the vets already on the call who have helped! Join our weekly call to talk about search, listen to operators, and help grow the searchfunder veteran community.

Thank you Tom for putting this together!

Would recommend any vets to join - has been a great opportunity to connect with other vets who represent the array of ETA (from still searching to CEO role)
