SFA was created to minimize the risks searchers face while dramatically increasing the likelihood and magnitude of their success.
SFA works with a select group of entrepreneurs to help each of them find and acquire an excellent company and manage it successfully as an equity-owning CEO. Our team of dedicated professionals provides personalized coaching and support to SFA’s searchers and CEOs from the beginning of their search and throughout their tenure as CEO of the company they acquire.
The traditional search fund model has consistently demonstrated unacceptably high failures rates for searchers. While every searcher believes they will succeed, the statistics show that 70% of searchers fail.
Searchers lose time learning how to search, struggling to identify good companies, and pursuing poor acquisition candidates. What’s worse, searchers buy businesses that they should never have acquired and then struggle to create equity value: thus they build little or no personal wealth despite years of hard work.
Driven by a desire for autonomy, many searchers also take unnecessary risks. There is a prevailing myth that being a “real” entrepreneur means “doing it on your own.” However, successful entrepreneurs are actually more risk-averse than the general population and seek to minimize risk to increase their chance of success.
