Company intelligence for Korean search funds and business succession
Search Funds Korea is a platform that takes a Korean company from discovery through research, acquisition, ownership and fund operations. It is in development, and this site describes the design and the public data sources it plans to use, as they are.
Current status: in development. The Korean data connectors and the joined company corpus are not yet implemented or measured, and this site has no public company database or search. It states no coverage figures or company counts.
What the platform covers
It is designed to carry the work from discovery to acquisition, fund operations and exit in one flow. The platform overview has the detail.
Company intelligence
Find companies by sector, products, geography, establishments, reported financials and observed activity, and inspect sources and changes.
Ecosystem and relationships
Discover published information on search funds, investors, advisers and lenders, and manage your own relationship records.
Searcher operations
Manage investment theses, target lists, outreach, pipelines, research packets, budgets and sponsor reporting.
Acquisition
Organize opportunities, data rooms, diligence, financial normalization, valuation, financing and transaction decisions.
Funds and investors
Manage vehicles, commitments, capital calls, allocations, capital accounts and reporting.
Portfolio and exit
Keep continuity after founder transition, track financials and KPIs, support board work, then manage buyers and proceeds.
Design principles
- Every fact carries its source and as-of date. A retrieval date does not make an old fact current.
- Companies, establishments, permits, factories and contracts are separate objects. A similar name alone never merges two companies.
- Unknown values stay unknown, and estimates show their derivation and never replace reported figures.
- Public data and a customer's private records stay apart. A customer's private information never enters the shared data.
Korean public data it plans to use
The foundation is the FSC company information plus DART, extended with establishment, factory, permit, procurement and statistics datasets. What each source offers and where it stops is on the public data sources page. What public data cannot tell you is in the guide to search funds and succession.
Relationship to Search Funds Japan
The implementation of Search Funds Japan, which is in service in Japan, is the reference: country-independent search, evidence and workflow capabilities stay one implementation, while Korean sources, identifiers, language and deployment are managed here. Japanese and Korean company data stay in their own country and identifier namespaces.
