A family committed to
principled ownership

Herr Family Holdings is a private acquisition group focused on buying and growing established, owner-operated businesses in B2B services and light manufacturing. We are not a private equity firm — we do not flip companies, saddle them with debt, or force rapid cost-cutting.

We buy businesses to own them. Our goal is to preserve the culture, relationships, and operational integrity the founder built — then grow from that foundation. Sellers can expect a transparent, low-drama process from initial conversation to close and beyond.

We work directly with business owners and broker partners. We respect confidentiality, move at a professional pace, and have the capital and conviction to close on the right deal.

Confidentiality guaranteed

We sign NDAs before any detailed discussion. Your employees, customers, and competitors will not learn of this process from us.

Fast, decisive diligence

We come prepared, ask focused questions, and don't let deals drag. A clean LOI within 2 weeks of initial review is our standard.

SBA-focused, seller-aligned structures

We primarily use SBA financing and require a seller note on every deal — because we believe sellers who stay invested in the outcome make for the best partnerships.

Respectful of your legacy

We take time to understand what you've built and why it matters. Your team and customers are part of the acquisition, not collateral.

What we look for

We have a clear focus. If your business fits these parameters, we want to hear from you — and we'll respond promptly.

01

Revenue range

Businesses generating between $1M and $5M in annual revenue. We are not limited to this range if the business is exceptional, but this is our primary focus.

$1M – $5M ARR
02

Industries

B2B services, business process outsourcing, light manufacturing, specialty distribution, and industrial services. We consider adjacent industries on a case-by-case basis.

B2B / Manufacturing
03

Profitability

We look for businesses with demonstrated EBITDA margins and at least 2 years of consistent profitability. Some owner add-backs are expected and understood.

EBITDA positive
04

Owner involvement

We are open to businesses where the owner is deeply embedded, as long as we can build a transition plan together. Absentee-run businesses are also of interest.

All structures considered
05

Geography

Primarily focused on Colorado, with a strong interest across the broader western United States — including Utah, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Wyoming, and the Pacific Coast states.

Colorado & Western US
06

Deal structure

Our preferred structure is SBA-backed financing with a seller note component — typically 10–15% — required on all deals. Seller participation aligns incentives through transition and signals confidence in the business's continued performance.

We buy to keep

The businesses we acquire are the result of decades of hard work, trusted relationships, and quiet excellence. We don't take that lightly — and we don't let it go.

— Herr Family Holdings LLC

Permanent capital, patient ownership

We are not a fund with a 5-year exit mandate. We hold businesses indefinitely and measure success over decades, not quarters.

Operators, not just investors

We bring hands-on operational experience and business acumen. We understand what makes small businesses run — and we protect it.

Protecting what sellers have built

We retain employees, maintain customer relationships, and honor the commitments you've made. Your reputation becomes our reputation.

Growth through stability first

We stabilize and optimize before we grow. No reckless pivots or overnight restructuring — just methodical, sustainable improvement.
