Responsible Ownership for the Next Generation of Trades.

Every great company story reaches a turning point—a moment when the focus moves from what’s been built to what will be remembered.

Third Chapter exists to honor the craftsmanship behind that journey and to help business owners shape a future worthy of the legacy they’ve created.

For years, these owners have built something with their hands, their grit, and an inspiring commitment to quality. They’ve overcome challenges, mastered their craft, and created businesses that support families, employees, and entire communities. But now, they stand at a crossroads—ready for what’s next. Ready for their Third Chapter.

This is where we step in.

Not just as a holding company, but as a trusted steward of legacies.

We believe in legacy through stewardship. Sustainability through thoughtful leadership. Excellence through craftsmanship.

We know these businesses are more than numbers on a balance sheet. And when the time comes for an owner to step into something new, we make sure what they’ve built doesn’t just survive—it thrives.

We’re not just acquiring businesses—we’re continuing the story. Carrying forward the values, the people, and the mission that made these companies great in the first place.

Because in the end, a business isn’t just about the first chapter of starting up, or the second chapter of scaling. It’s about what happens after.

It’s about building a legacy that lasts—beyond the founder, beyond the moment, into the future.

This is Third Chapter. Where legacies live on.

The People Behind Our Business.

We’re a team of operators, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and trades champions—diverse in experience but aligned in purpose: to carry forward the values that make businesses matter. We’ve built and grown small businesses ourselves. Some of us have owned and still own trades companies.

All of us have spent our careers in small business running sales, building thriving cultures, coaching leaders, leading operations, or helping fix the kind of growing pains you’re probably facing right now.

We know what it takes to build something that lasts and what it feels like to hand it off. We don’t hide behind layers. We show up. We listen. We build real relationships. And when we say we’re in it for the long haul, we mean it.
