Business for Good

At Second Mile, we believe business is a powerful force for good. As a purpose-driven holding company, we acquire small businesses and grow them by taking a people-first approach.

Our mission extends beyond profits - we exist to serve our team members, customers, and communities. We focus on industries where the nature of the business is easy to understand, but the work is often hard to execute at scale.

Building a great company takes years of dedication and hard work. With every business we acquire, we aim to honor the founder’s legacy and support the people who made it possible, seeking to make a positive impact in the world.

What Makes Us Different

These are the hallmarks you can expect from us.

We invest our own money with no intention of selling.

Our time horizon is measured in decades, not years.
