Preserving What Works. Building What’s Next.
Harwood Capital LLC is a Virginia-based acquisition and operating company dedicated to purchasing and stewarding profitable small businesses. We specialize in partnering with owners who are preparing for succession and want a responsible, thoughtful transition that protects their legacy, employees, and customers.
Unlike traditional private equity, Harwood Capital takes a long-term, hands-on approach. We operate the businesses we acquire, prioritizing continuity, operational stability, and sustainable growth. Through flexible acquisition structures and a commitment to preserving what already works, we ensure smooth transitions while positioning each business for its next chapter.

Operational Improvement & Growth

What Sets Us Apart

We buy businesses to operate them, not to flip them.
