Built in Virginia. Staying in Virginia.

We back great businesses so they keep growing—right where you built them.

We buy businesses that are:

Profitable
Generating $1M+ in annual free cash flow. We look for stable, profitable businesses with strong fundamentals and loyal customers—ready to grow with the right partner.

Local
Headquartered in Western Virginia—or able to be. We also consider carveouts or divisions that could grow with a new home base rooted in this region.

Ready to Transition
Whether you're ready to step back or want a partner to help you scale, we’re flexible. We support owners planning their next chapter—whatever that looks like.

Why sell to us?

You built something worth protecting. We’re here to help it thrive for the next generation—without gutting it or moving it away.

FAQ

  • Because you care about what happens after the sale. Harbor is a buyer that won’t gut your team, move your business out of state, or flip it in a few years. We’re based here. We stay. We offer a clean, fair exit—or a path to stay involved if that’s right for you. Your people, your reputation, and everything you’ve built will be protected. If you want to sell without regret, Harbor is built for you.

  • We bring more than a check. We’ve built companies from scratch and run global conglomerates, so we know how to grow a business the right way. We modernize systems, invest in people, care about culture, and help great companies reach their next chapter—without changing what made them great. We’re deeply connected in Virginia, and we do what we say we’ll do. With Harbor, you’re getting a committed partner—not just a buyer.

  • Harbor is a holding company—not a private equity fund. We buy great businesses to own and grow them long-term. No flips, no relocations, no gutting teams. We’re based in Virginia, and our goal is to keep leadership, jobs, and wealth right here. Owners trust us because we care about what happens for decades after the sale.

  • No. We offer full exits or partial buyouts—whatever fits your goals. Many owners sell a majority stake and stay on in a leadership or advisory role. We’re flexible and happy to structure the deal in a way that keeps you involved, if that’s what you want.

  • We don’t buy businesses to cut people—we buy to steward and grow them. We aim to keep teams intact, and continue investing in the people who made the business great. Culture and continuity matter deeply to us.
