Our mission is to strengthen the growth and long-term success of small and medium-sized businesses engaged in federal contracting by providing disciplined, performance-based capital that fuels expansion without dilution or restrictive debt obligations. Our leadership team combine more than thirty years of command-level federal acquisition and budget leadership to deliver strategic financial support, sound business insight, and responsible stakeholder partnership.
We believe strongly that stable industry economics combined with continuous business process improvement can achieve wonderful results. Our long-term focus gives us the runway to utilize the skills we have – to partner with you to build sustainable, long-term value.
Beyond providing capital, we actively support our partner companies through a suite of operational and strategic services, including tax and legal guidance, digital marketing and SEO, sales and staffing consulting, and HR compliance. Our team fills critical gaps to strengthen business performance and help companies scale sustainably while preserving their core values and operational excellence.
Our passion for small business investing is driven by diverse backgrounds in government, entrepreneurship, and leadership. With experience as Contracting Officers, Budget Analysts, and management consultants, we bring a unique perspective focused on stability, efficiency, and continuous improvement. Through strong partnerships and a growing network, we aim to create lasting value for every business we support.
Through our Growth Investment Agreements, we assume risk alongside the businesses we fund, promoting sustainable development, operational resilience, and economic advancement while upholding the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and professional excellence.
Tarheel Equity LLC provides non-dilutive financing to small and mid-sized federal contractors through performance-linked Growth Investment Agreements (GIAs) that comply with Texas usury laws.
We use structured revenue-participation agreements rather than loans or equity instruments, receiving a defined percentage of gross revenue for a fixed term. This avoids fixed interest, prevents dilution, and aligns our returns with actual business performance.
We provide full or partial buyouts and recapitalizations to fit your specific ownership transition needs and goals.
Your business gains access to our expert service, government contract budgeting, financing and small business growth.
Beyond being a private equity firm, we are a value-added partner in the companies we invest in. Our partner companies have full access to a suite of support services not limited to: tax/legal, SEO/digital, sales consulting, project planning, staffing/recruiting, HR compliance, and more.
As a private equity firm, we have the operational capacity to fill gaps in your businesses to support growth.
Our passion for small business private equity stems from our team’s backgrounds as Contracting Officers, Budget Analysts, entrepreneurs, management consultants, and military leaders.
