Patient capital for the businesses that keep industry running.

Frigate Holdings acquires commercial and industrial services companies and holds them for the long term.

Most buyers plan their exit before they close. We plan to stay.

We buy established services companies with no predetermined sale date. We keep what already works, from the name to the team to the customer relationships, and we invest alongside management in the things that compound over time: people, systems, and the quality of the work.

Buy

We look for durable companies with loyal customers and a reputation earned over years, often where an owner is ready to step back and wants the business in steady hands.

Grow

We work with management on hiring, systems, and adjacent services. Growth comes from doing the work better, not from cutting to the bone.

Hold

We intend to own our companies for decades. Employees, customers, and sellers can count on the business not being flipped in a few years.

What we look for

Industries
Commercial and industrial services, such as facility maintenance, mechanical and electrical contracting, inspection and testing, and specialty field services.
Business profile
Established, profitable companies with repeat or recurring customer relationships.
Situations
Founder retirements, succession planning, and partial sales where the owner stays involved.
Geography
United States.
