Hello Searchfunder Community,
I'm currently a searcher focused on acquiring a micro-SaaS business and leveraging my 14 years of experience in online marketing and product development. My business partner and I have capital ready to deploy, but we've encountered situations where sellers are hesitant about SBA loans, and conventional loans often come with challenging interest rates and hurdles.
We're exploring the possibility of collaborating with LPs and family offices to fund acquisitions. Since I've never partnered with these types of investors before, I'm reaching out to tap into your collective wisdom:
Searchers: Have you partnered with LPs or family offices for deal acquisitions? I'd greatly appreciate hearing about your experiences, lessons learned, and any advice you could share. Open to a quick chat as well!
LPs and Family Offices: Could you share your expectations when investing in acquisition opportunities? Insights into typical terms, due diligence preferences, and partnership dynamics would be particularly helpful.
Thanks in advance for your insights!
