Sell Your Business to the Team You Can Trust
We acquire established, cash-flowing businesses through a direct, respectful process backed by real capital and hands-on experience.
Rooted in Legacy.
Built for the Long Term.
Terra Ceia Capital is a boutique private investment venture focused on acquiring profitable, owner-operated businesses across the U.S.
We’re entrepreneurs, operators, and dealmakers with decades of combined experience buying, growing, and transitioning successful companies.
Our team has closed dozens of transactions across industries and deal sizes—and we know firsthand what it takes to navigate a smooth exit, operate through change, and unlock long-term value.
Backed by a trusted network of capital partners, family offices, and direct investors, we bring real buying power, fast execution, and flexible structures to the table.
Most important: we work directly with owners. No brokers. No commissions. No pressure. Just honest conversations and thoughtful, off-market acquisitions that protect the business, the team, and the legacy behind it.
