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.
