Thank you!_______________________________________________________________Believe it or not, this is my 50th newsletter post!Over the past 7ish months, I've gotten to connect with a number of readers who range from searchers, prospective searchers, investors, operators, advisors, etc. It's a niche readership group but it definitely feels like I've found "my people" i.e. people who don't find all of this SMB acquisition stuff boring or crazy.So a big thank you to everyone for reading, commenting, sending feedback, and more. If you've got ideas for future posts, I'm always all ears. If you've got something you want to write for the community, I'm happy to have guest writers occasionally - just let me know what you're thinking and we can workshop it.Okay, let's flip into today's topic - the different forms of search support that exist out there. This ties in very closely to picking your investors, which I've written about before, because often the support services you use are provided by prospective investors.However, that post focus on how to select investors for the operations phase of the process. Today's post is focused on support services during the search phase of the process.(By the way, today's sponsor is highly related to this newsletter as you'll see below. This newsletter post was partially inspired by a discussion with the host of Acquiring Minds.)
