Harbor Compliance Accelerates Growth Strategy, Earns 8th Inc. 5000 Recognition

New CEO, Strengthened Board, and Growth Investment from Bregal Sagemount Fuel the Company's Next Phase of Expansion

LANCASTER, Pa., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Harbor Compliance, a leading provider of compliance, licensing, and registered agent services, is executing an ambitious growth strategy backed by new leadership, a strengthened board, and a committed capital partner. That momentum is reflected in the company's eighth appearance on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, with three-year revenue growth of 55 percent.

In February 2026, Harbor Compliance secured a majority growth investment from Bregal Sagemount, a growth-focused private capital firm, and appointed Chad Nuss as Chief Executive Officer. Industry veteran John Weber, former CEO of CT Corporation, joined the company's board of directors alongside partners from Bregal Sagemount, bringing decades of regulatory and compliance leadership to guide the company's next phase. The investment is fueling continued expansion of Harbor Compliance's regulatory data, software, and managed services — the same combination that has driven the company's growth since it was founded in 2012 and that today serves more than 40,000 customers nationwide.

"This recognition reflects the alignment we have across our leadership team, board, and investors around a single strategy: making compliance simple for the customers we serve," said Chad Nuss, CEO of Harbor Compliance. "Sustaining growth over eight years means making our customers' lives easier no matter how fast requirements change. That's why we listen to the needs in the market, continue to expand our compliance services, and deliver additional capabilities through technology. Organizations can see and address their full compliance picture in one place rather than piecing it together state by state. This complete regulatory compliance is the peace of mind organizations are asking for."

"Harbor Compliance has the rare combination of a differentiated product, a large and growing market, and a leadership team that knows how to execute," said John Weber, board member and former CEO of CT Corporation. "That combination is why the board and our investment partners are confident in the company's path forward."

Through a unique combination of proprietary data, advanced software, and expert support, Harbor Compliance helps businesses and nonprofits manage the registration rules, licensing categories, renewal calendars, and reporting obligations that vary by jurisdiction and change with little warning. From a single interface, users can track renewal dates, assign tasks to colleagues, store records, and access registered agent documents. The software is available as a service and also serves as the foundation of the company's managed services.
