Portfolio

Four verticals, one discipline.

Each vertical meets the same bar: understandable economics, recurring demand, durable margins, and an operator we trust. We'd rather own a handful of quietly excellent businesses than a sprawling portfolio we can't recite from memory.

Real Estate

Income-producing property in high-demand Front Range submarkets. We buy for cash flow and tax efficiency, not appreciation stories.

  • Multifamily & small commercial
  • Owner-operated management
  • Conservative leverage

Athletic Surfaces & Facilities

Operating subsidiary Front Range Athletic Surfaces — court construction and resurfacing, gym floor and turf work, and full facility maintenance across Colorado and the Mountain West.

  • Courts, gyms & multi-sport facilities
  • Recurring maintenance contracts
  • Municipal & private club clientele
  • Expanding crew network

Operating Small Business

Main Street acquisitions in service-based industries with proven cash flow, loyal customers, and a seller seeking a careful next chapter.

  • $500K–$3M EBITDA targets
  • Owner-operator succession
  • Long-term hold, no forced exit

Private Equity

Selective minority positions in private companies alongside aligned operators and co-investors. We lead with capital discipline and patience.

  • Co-invest & direct positions
  • Alignment over activity
  • 10+ year outlook
Approach

Long capital, short list.

We apply the same three filters to every acquisition. If a deal doesn't clear all three, it doesn't get committee time. This is how we keep the portfolio small, understood, and compounding.

Durable Economics

Recurring revenue or captive demand. We avoid fashion cycles, single-customer concentration, and businesses that live or die on the next deal.

Operator Alignment

Every asset has a named operator with skin in the game. We don't do absentee ownership or rely on turnaround consulting.

Conservative Capital

Low leverage, meaningful cash reserves, and a bias toward boring debt structures. We optimize for staying power, not IRR headlines.

We'd rather own one business we understand completely than ten we have to explain to ourselves every quarter.

About

Built in Colorado. Run like a family office.

45 Holdings was founded to house long-duration capital and operating businesses under one patient owner. We take board seats, not passenger seats. Our time horizon is generational — we plan for the businesses we own today to be owned by the same platform in thirty years.

Headquartered in Colorado

Front Range base with a regional focus on the Mountain West. We invest where we can drive and show up in person.

Permanent Capital

No fund life, no forced exits, no management fees. When we buy, we plan to keep it.

Direct Relationships

We work with sellers, brokers, and co-investors directly. One principal decision-maker; one phone number.

Let's talk.

We welcome inquiries from sellers, brokers, co-investors, and qualified investors interested in the 45 Holdings platform. Confidentiality assured.
