48North Partners

48North Partners was inaugurated in 2023 by Chapin Newhard as a bespoke advisory firm to guide family-owned and founder-led companies toward fruitful partnerships with private equity investors. This firm excels in supporting businesses through growth phases, retirement planning, and exploring strategic alternatives.

Chapin was inspired to establish 48North Partners after witnessing the myriad challenges that business owners faced while at Pine Tree Equity, a Miami-based private equity firm focused on the service sector. He observed that owners new to the selling process were often overwhelmed by many inquiries from potential buyers. Seeing the need for an advisory service that prioritized the business owner’s needs without any financial bias, Chapin created 48North Partners. His vision was to demystify the selling process and ensure the firm acted solely in the business owner’s best interests.

48North Partners is distinguished by its policy of not charging business owners upfront fees. This approach allows owners to explore potential partnerships and seek advice without the stress of initial financial commitments. The firm’s revenue is derived from the buyer side, ensuring its recommendations always align with the business owner's best interests.

48North Partners' services are comprehensive and tailored to the needs of family-owned businesses. Its buy-side advisory service is pivotal for those seeking aligned investors or buyers who respect the business's vision and can contribute to its sustained success. This service includes a detailed analysis of the company, growth potential evaluation, and strategic advice on transitioning or raising capital.

Additionally, 48North offers capital raising assistance, helping businesses to identify suitable investors for expansion initiatives such as entering new markets, launching products, or scaling operations. The firm's advisors offer strategic insights throughout this process, ensuring that the partnerships formed support the business’s long-term objectives.

48North also specializes in succession planning and ownership transitions, aiding owners in developing strategies to pass on their legacy effectively. This service helps plan for internal family succession and integrate external leadership when necessary.

Chapin Newhard, a native of Aspen, Colorado, and a University of North Carolina graduate at Chapel Hill founded 48North with a deep entrepreneurial background. Engaged to Marissa Buchholz, Chapin is committed to environmental advocacy and enjoys activities like surfing and skiing, which he shares with their dog named Nala. This highlights his commitment to balancing his professional and personal life.
