Investing in People, Processes, and the Communities We Serve
Umara Holdings is a Bay Area–based long-term operator focused on acquiring and growing established businesses with durable demand and strong local roots.
We take a disciplined, hands-on approach to ownership — supporting skilled teams, dependable systems, and long-term relationships that keep local businesses strong. Our focus includes metal-centric fabrication and light manufacturing, industrial services, commercial facility servicing, building trades, and select home and property services.
We seek established businesses that provide essential work and dependable service across local markets. Our goal is to preserve what has been built, strengthen operating systems where helpful, and create lasting value for employees, clients, and partners alike.
Building enduring businesses, with people at the center.
Umara Holdings is a privately held Bay Area firm focused on acquiring and operating established businesses with strong local roots and durable demand. The focus is on companies that maintain, improve, or create the spaces and systems where people live and work.
The ownership approach emphasizes long-term stewardship and operational continuity. Business owners are supported through thoughtful transitions, employees continue to grow in stable roles, and customers remain served by the teams they already trust.
With over 15 years of leadership experience across complex, regulated operating environments, the firm’s founder brings disciplined execution, sound judgment, and a people-first mindset to each transition. The objective is not to overhaul what works, but to preserve strong foundations while strengthening systems and teams for long-term success.
Success is measured not only in financial outcomes, but in steady operations, resilient teams, and businesses that continue to serve their customers and communities reliably over time.
We look for enduring, service-oriented businesses that form the foundation of strong communities.
Umara Holdings acquires and operates established businesses that serve essential local needs — the ones that quietly keep homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods functioning every day. Our approach is long-term, hands-on, and people-first.
