Who we are
We are a privately held, family office, focused on acquiring and operating small businesses and real estate. We draw on our unique, blended experience in finance, business operations, healthcare, product strategy, and customer service to thoughtfully support and strengthen the companies and properties we acquire. We are building a portfolio that we can steward over decades—not quarters.
Our name, Box Mill Capital, is an ode to our family heritage—and to the quiet durability of businesses built to last. The original West Box Mill stood in Pembroke, Massachusetts in the 1800s and went on to operate for nearly 200 years. It served as a cornerstone of its small community and for decades, was a place where local families worked, traded, and depended on one another. That legacy has inspired the way we invest today.
Like the mills that powered small communities for generations, we focus on durable, niche, services companies that remain profitable and essential year after year. The name also serves as a quiet reminder to avoid complacency: to respect what has worked while embracing the change required to keep serving customers well. Ultimately, our success is shared—we win when our portfolio companies win, by showing up with a service-first mindset and a long-term commitment to people and customers.
Our Values
Relationships Over Transactions
A sale is a major life moment for both the seller and the buyer. We pride ourselves on transparency, honesty, clear communication, and respect for the work that came before us.
Stewardship Over Speculation
We are here to own, not flip. We would rather grow slowly and soundly than chase the latest trend.
People & Community
We take seriously our responsibility to employees, customers, and the communities where we operate.
Operational Excellence
We lean on data and leverage technology to improve efficiency and streamline processes and systems—but never at the expense of common sense and on-the-ground realities.
Transparency & Trust
We communicate openly throughout diligence, closing, and beyond. No surprises, no hidden agendas.
Investment Philosophy
We look for opportunities where engaged ownership can make a meaningful difference over time. This often means:
Businesses with loyal customers and strong service reputation
Owners who care deeply about their team and legacy
Markets with durable, long-term demand
Opportunities to modernize operations, technology, and processes without changing the core of what works
