How We Work
Harris Holdco is an operational advisory and holding firm focused on small and mid-sized business acquisitions, integration, and operations.
We work with buyers, operators, and founder-led businesses at every stage — from evaluating a deal before the LOI to improving operations years after the close. Our background is in running businesses, not just advising them — we've been in the room when integrations break, when the CIM didn't match the reality, and when the first 90 days defined the next five years. That distinction shapes everything we do.
Problems We Solve
- Buying a business without understanding what you'll actually be running — the people, systems, and operational risks that don't show up in the P&L
- Tight cash flow and unfavorable working capital position
- Operational bottlenecks slowing growth
- Lack of scalable systems and processes
- Acquisition integration challenges after close
- Inconsistent execution across teams
- Founder dependency and limited management bandwidth
- Weak operational visibility and reporting
- ERP and process inefficiencies
- Operational complexity during periods of rapid growth
The Brief Suite
The Buyer's Brief
The operational view your financial advisors won't give you — before you sign. An independent read on the people, systems, and risks that don't show up in the P&L. Covers what changes when the seller leaves and what you'll actually be walking into. Delivered in 48–72 hours.
Price: $2,000 · businesses up to $5M revenue
(custom pricing available for larger businesses)
The Owner's Brief
Best ordered after LOI — before close. A 90-day integration roadmap built before you take the keys. Week-by-week priorities, people risk, and operational change sequencing — so your plan is ready on day one, not built under pressure after the fact. Delivered in 5 business days.
Price: $5,000 · businesses with up to $5M in revenue
(custom pricing available for larger companies)
The Brief Package
Buyer's Brief + Owner's Brief — $6,500 (save $500)
Order both together. Start with the operational picture before you sign — if you proceed to LOI, the Owner's Brief builds your integration roadmap before close.
The Seller's Brief
See your business the way a buyer's operator will — before they do. Know what an experienced buyer will uncover in diligence so you can fix it, disclose it strategically, or price it into negotiations. Delivered in 5 business days.
