Who We Are
Search Fund Accelerator
As the first and most advanced accelerator in the search fund world, SFA was created with three bold objectives in mind:
To dramatically increase searcher and CEO success in finding, buying, and managing outstanding businesses;
To provide unparalleled coaching, resources and support from the SFA team, and;
To increase our CEOs’ likelihood of financial success.
We wanted to make choosing SFA a no-brainer. More support, better economics, and greater chances of success.
Why Choose SFA?
Contrary to popular belief, the traditional search fund model is highly risky. 70% of searchers who choose the traditional model fail!
Traditional searchers lose time learning how to search, struggling to identify good companies, and pursuing poor acquisition candidates. Even worse, traditional searchers are vulnerable to buying low-potential businesses and often struggle to create equity value and earn personal wealth.
Searching for a business to buy is a challenging process. From start to finish, we support a select group of entrepreneurs through the process of acquiring an excellent company and managing it successfully as equity-owning CEOs. At SFA, our searchers apply proven techniques and technology to their search while benefiting from invaluable coaching and resources.
We work closely with our searchers, helping them evaluate deals, conduct due diligence, and make strong investment decisions. They also enjoy the support and camaraderie of their fellow searchers and CEOs. As a result, they build trusting relationships and are lifelong members of a community of entrepreneurs.
“SFA is the ultimate partner.”
“SFA is the ultimate partner.”
SFA aims for 100% success for our searchers. We know that’s not possible, but it is the only acceptable goal. Our expectations are bold because we maintain the highest standards within our practice and only partner with the best and most-determined professionals.
SFA is the first highly specialized coaching organization in the search fund world. Since its inception in 2015, SFA has built a proven model by focusing exclusively on the success of its searchers and CEOs. And by continuously learning and refining our processes, SFA has remained at the forefront of serving their complex and evolving needs.
