About

Long-term owners of enduring small businesses

Shaw Family Enterprises is a founder-led investment group focused on acquiring and operating a single established small business on a long-term basis. We partner with business owners seeking a thoughtful transition and prioritize continuity for employees, customers, and company culture.

Our goal is to preserve what makes a business successful while supporting sustainable growth through hands-on ownership and operational focus.

Our Approach

Shaw Family Enterprises takes a long-term, owner-operator approach. We are not a private equity fund and do not pursue short-term exits.

We believe the best transitions respect the history of the business, support existing employees, and maintain trusted customer relationships. When helpful, we welcome seller involvement during the transition to ensure continuity and alignment.

Our focus is on stewardship, operational excellence, and sustainable growth over time.
