Traditional search fund searchers enjoy the support of an institutional fund during their initial search.
As a traditional searcher, you look for a promising business that you can acquire and operate. You’ll fund the majority of the acquisition by raising funds from investors.
You’ll net a minority stake in the acquired business and an operator role in the company.
CapitalPad doesn’t participate in the initial search. But when you’ve found a company you’d like to acquire and seek investors for equity financing, CapitalPad can help.

Automated NDA process
Automated teaser and full deck production process

tax distributions
A special purpose vehicle (SPV)

What You Need
You’ll need to have these items ready to post your deal on CapitalPad:
Accepted LOI
Data needed to create a deal memo
Description of the deal with investment merits
Due diligence documents
(financials, P&L, quality of earnings report, etc.)
CapitalPad can’t guarantee your deal will raise the full amount desired. But as long as your deal reaches the $150,000 minimum funding threshold to close, CapitalPad can manage these investors while you find the remaining funds elsewhere
Deals with favorable terms, such as paying regular quarterly cash distributions, tend to attract more investors.
