One buyer. One business at a time.
Your team stays.
Haw River Partners buys founder-run IT services and managed services firms in the Southeast and Texas and keeps running them. Based in Atlanta.
Anthony Lewis. I’ve built and run software businesses, including one that served dental practices, and I’ve spent the last several years running product for a large technology company. Before that I searched for and evaluated small businesses to acquire. I’m not a fund manager. When we talk, you’re talking to the person who writes the check and shows up on Monday.
- Managed IT or IT services, 8 to 30 people
- 10+ years in business, founder or long-time owner still involved
- Clients who’ve been with you a long time, often in healthcare, legal, or professional services
- Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Florida, Texas, Virginia
They keep their jobs. Your lead tech keeps being your lead tech. I’m buying the business because of the team, not in spite of it.
Nothing they notice on day one. Over time we add security and compliance capability most 15-person shops can’t afford to build alone, which is good for them and good for the business.
Your call. Some owners want out in 90 days. Some want to stay two years, keep a piece, and hand off slowly. We’ve structured for both.
A 20-minute call. No NDA required to talk. No documents required to talk. If it makes sense to go further, we’ll both know.
