Northern Yard Partners was founded in 2024. We started Northern Yard Partners because traditional private equity isn’t built to help small business. As former private equity professionals ourselves, we understand that small business owners face unique challenges around succession, scale, staffing, culture, and legacy.  

Our approach is custom-built for investing in small business. With guiding principles grounded in honesty and transparency; a focus on long-term growth; and a unique, partnership-driven approach; we are built to work exclusively with small businesses and help them compete in rapidly changing times to protect their brands, legacies, and employees.

We are proud to be backed by BellTower Partners, a private holding company with permanent capital. BellTower shares many of Northern Yard’s core principles, including investing for the long-term, driving returns through sustainable growth, and serving as true partners to its portfolio companies.
