The Harwood Group was founded in 2022 by James Richardson, a former PwC Director, after he saw a clear demographic shift in the marketplace.

Many retiring business owners want to pass on their small businesses, often their life’s work, not to large corporations but to another individual who genuinely cares and has the drive, experience, and discipline to carry the business forward while ensuring their employees and customers continue to be looked after.

Since 2022, The Harwood Group has acquired and grown several companies across B2B services, home services, and manufacturing.

Originally from the UK and now a U.S. citizen, James invests with a long-term, buy-and-hold approach. My priority is partnering with owners as they step away from their businesses and ensuring the legacy they have built continues to grow under the next generation of leadership.

The Harwood Group is currently seeking to acquire businesses with $1 million to $10 million in EBITDA.
