Apply for Search Fund Investment

At Kjøller, we back entrepreneurs through both the search and acquisition phases of the Search Fund model.

We can fund your entire journey - from the search process to closing the deal, typically alongside bank loans and seller financing.

Since 2008, we at Kjøller have made 80 investments. So far in 2025 we have made 4 investments. Last year we made 6 investments.

Since 2018, we've actively supported entrepreneurs following the Search Fund model by investing in both the search phase and the final company acquisition. We typically provide up to 500,000 USD in flexible junior capital that bridges the remaining gap in the financing stack. Our structures often include a mix of debt and an equity kicker to ensure aligned incentives. We don’t offer standard loans, but build tailored terms that reflect the opportunity and risks of each case. We prefer transactions in the $5–8 million range and mainly invest in the UK and Denmark, though we remain open to strong cases from other markets. Whether you're at the beginning of your search or already negotiating an acquisition, we can be a committed financial partner throughout the process.
