Northharbor Holdings, LLC is a private investment company based in Arlington, VA, which invests in proprietary market niches and special situations among lower middle market companies.
We connect unique private equity opportunities to committed private investors who include family offices and high-net-worth investors. Our advantage is that we follow a deliberate process to diligence lower middle market businesses that fit the investment profile of our investors and connect businesses to skilled and accomplished operators.
We facilitate equity and debt investment directly in operating businesses to grow or transfer the company. We are sensitive to the needs of private business owners and offer a process to clearly evaluate a business so that the buyer and seller see the same picture.
Our company focuses on lower middle-market companies in the $5-30 million revenue / $1-5 million EBITDA range. These are companies typical valued at $5-30 million (4x-6x EBITDA).
Industry segments include business services, manufacturing, value-added distribution, technolgy and industrial suppliers with a repeatable business model. Our network of unique relationships provides our partnership with exceptional access to attractive investment opportunities usually reserved for well‐connected investors.
Our targets are small to medium size enterprises (SMEs) which comprise 99% of all businesses in this country. In 2020, the youngest baby boomers will turn 55 years old, and baby boomer business owners, who own over 75% of the 6 million+ private businesses in the US with payroll, will need to transition their companies to new owners.
With the majority of SMEs in the hands of baby boomer business owners nearing retirement, the need to transfer private business over the next decade will accelerate. Northharbor will continue to connect our network of private investors to these well-managed lower middle market companies.
