Lisa Forrest shares key findings from a survey of 49 entrepreneurs who bought a business after a self-funded search.

The findings discussed were based on these questions:

How did you find your deal?
Did you conduct a full-time search?
How long did you search before you found the deal you closed on?
Do you think your acquisition price valuation was fair?
How long did it take you to discuss valuation with the seller?
Did you have a competitive deal process where multiple buyers were vying for the LOI?
What do you think the critical success factors were in sourcing and closing your deal?
Did you go up or down market compared to your original expectations?
