Cedar Ivy acquires family-owned and founder-led businesses in the Greater Cincinnati region with a long-term ownership mindset.

We partner with owners seeking a succession plan—whether for retirement, estate planning, or a new chapter—while preserving the legacy they’ve built.

Our local focus allows us to stay hands-on, support our teams, and remain active in the community.

Backed by our own capital and a small group of aligned investors, Cedar Ivy is not a private equity fund. We take a disciplined, long-term approach with no defined exit timeline.

We buy, build, and hold—focused on lasting success.
