DMV Partners

A values-driven investment firm based in Maryland and focused on acquiring and growing small family-owned businesses in the Mid-Atlantic (D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware)

Who we are

At DMV Partners, we believe every business has a story — and not all stories are alike. Our firm’s ethos is built on the same convictions, strengths, and experiences that makes your business unique, guiding how we partner, lead, and grow.

We have deep roots in small business, having started and grown businesses in the Mid-Atlantic to thousands of customers and employees with $100mm+ in cumulative revenue. We don’t see ourselves as just investors - we intend to embed ourselves in the mission, the culture, and the legacy of your business.

If you are considering entrusting the legacy of your business to capable hands, we'd love to have a confidential conversation with you about that.

What Sets Us Apart

Deep Operational DNA

More than just capital, we bring decades of hands-on execution. We’ve led teams, built processes, launched products, pivoted businesses — so when we join forces, we already “speak the language” of your day-to-day challenges.

Mutual Partnership

We come to every engagement with humility and curiosity. We don’t assume we know the answers — we listen, ask bold questions, dig into the micro (and macro), and co-craft the path forward.

High Transparency

When you work with us, you don’t get hidden tiers or faceless committees. You get direct access. We are accountable, responsive, and available in the trenches.

Legacy-Forward Thinking

We see our role not just in maximizing performance today but in preserving your legacy — for employees, customers, communities, and future stewards of your business.
