Red Fern Holdings is a North Carolina-based firm focused on acquiring and growing small service businesses that power local communities. We specialize in stable, cash-flowing companies in construction, automotive, and essential services — especially in underserved markets across Eastern NC.
We partner with founders ready to transition and investors who value integrity, operational excellence, and long-term value creation. Our goal is simple: acquire, improve, and steward small businesses that matter.
Our Values
Integrity First
We do what we say — with sellers, customers, investors, and communities. Every deal we pursue and every business we operate reflects our commitment to ethical stewardship.
Built to Last
Buy and hold. That is our focus. We acquire businesses we believe in and invest for long-term success. That means thoughtful growth, solid operations, and preserving what already works.
People Matter
Employees, owners, and customers are the lifeblood of any business. We prioritize community, culture, and respect for the people who’ve built the business before us.
Local Roots, Real Impact
We focus on the Southeast, especially Eastern North Carolina, because we know and believe in these communities. Every investment is also an investment in place.
