Harbor Compliance Secures Majority Growth Investment from Bregal Sagemount and Appoints New CEO

Harbor Compliance, a leading provider of entity compliance solutions for nonprofit and mid-market corporate customers, today announced that it has received a majority growth investment from Bregal Sagemount (“Sagemount”), a leading growth-focused private equity firm. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Harbor Compliance delivers entity compliance solutions through its modular SaaS platform, Compliance Core, providing a single, end-to-end system of record in an industry historically dominated by fragmented, service-heavy workflows. Serving more than 80,000 organizations across diverse industries, the Company’s solutions span business entity management, licensing, tax registration, and records management—providing customers with clear visibility into multi-state compliance obligations and reducing administrative complexity.

In addition, Chad Nuss has been appointed Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of Harbor Compliance.

As part of the investment, Pavan Tripathi, Terrance Garrett, and Connor Pams from Bregal Sagemount will join the Company’s Board of Directors, alongside industry veteran John Weber, former CEO of CT Corporation. Mike Montali and Megan Danz will continue to support Harbor Compliance’s long-term strategy as Board members and advisors.

Stifel served as exclusive financial adviser, and Royer Cooper Cohen Braunfeld LLC provided legal counsel to Harbor Compliance. Sagemount was advised by William Blair and Goodwin Procter LLP.
