Description

$7.4 trillion in small business assets are held by owners approaching retirement, creating a sizeable supply of attractive businesses for sale. Cost of living has increased substantially and wages have yet to catch up, driving highly qualified leaders and entrepreneurs to search for alternative career paths. According to both Stanford and SIG Partners, search funds, whether self-funded or traditional, have consistently delivered investors an IRR in the range of 30%.

It is our mission to…

1. Support small businesses and continue the legacies of retiring business owners

2. Enable acquisition entrepreneurs in their pursuit of financial freedom

3. Provide investors exposure to an attractive asset class that has outperformed many other alternative investing strategies

Search Fund Ventures is dedicated to empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs through the self-funded search model. We specialize in providing the resources, expertise, and capital necessary for talented operators to identify, acquire, and grow small businesses. Our mission is to support entrepreneurial success and drive value creation in the small business sector.

With a focus on hands-on support and strategic guidance, Search Fund Ventures helps operators navigate the complexities of business acquisitions and growth. We believe in the power of entrepreneurship to transform industries and communities, and we are committed to fostering a vibrant ecosystem of search fund operators and investors.

We bring together a unique blend of expertise in finance, technology, and business operations. Our team is passionate about building lasting partnerships and driving exceptional outcomes for our operators and investors. Join us in shaping the future of small business ownership and creating lasting impact.
