What Joshua Green Corporation buys
Joshua Green Corporation is a privately held Seattle investment company whose roots in Washington State reach back to the 1890s. It keeps its capital in three places: public stocks, commercial real estate and private companies. On the private side it buys or backs profitable local and regional businesses with capable managers, and it also helps owners with generational transitions and flexible liquidity. It chooses situations rather than sectors. Current holdings run from civil contractor Hos Brothers and heavy equipment dealer PacWest Machinery to fly-fishing group Far Bank, battery materials company ENTEK and real estate operator Urban Renaissance Group.
It publishes no revenue, EBITDA or check size range. It says it stays flexible on the type of security, the share it buys and how involved it gets, and it has no fund life forcing a sale. A smaller Northwest company could meet it as an add-on, as Miller Machinery did with PacWest in 2024, or by approaching it directly about succession.

Greymont’s take
How Joshua Green Corporation fits a seller
Joshua Green suits a Pacific Northwest owner who cares about who holds the business for the next few decades. The firm has no fund clock and names generational transitions as a situation it helps with. That makes it a natural call for an older family company like Hos Brothers, founded in 1956, which it bought in 2025.
It buys rarely: its own timeline shows one new company since ENTEK in 2019, so a sale will not run on a private equity timetable. Long term also does not mean never selling, since the site lists seven prior companies, including Kettle Cuisine and BCS. An owner should ask how much control JGC expects to take, whether managers and family can keep a stake, and what would lead it to sell.
Questions owners ask
What size company does Joshua Green Corporation buy?
It publishes no revenue, EBITDA or check size figures. Its site describes profitable, well-managed local and regional companies, and Hos Brothers, which it added in 2025, has about 190 employees at peak season.
Does Joshua Green Corporation have a set time to sell?
No. It says its long view lets it keep an asset across generations, in contrast with a typical fund. It does sell at times: the site lists seven prior companies, and Harry's Fresh Foods went to Kettle Cuisine in 2019.
Does Joshua Green Corporation take minority stakes?
Sometimes. It says it is flexible on how much it buys. Its timeline shows a majority purchase of Bellingham Cold Storage in 2018, growth capital for PlayNetwork in 2009, and a 2019 ENTEK investment alongside a private equity firm that took the majority.
Does Joshua Green Corporation own construction businesses?
Yes. Hos Brothers, a Puget Sound civil contractor doing sitework, excavation, underground utilities and trucking, joined in 2025. It also holds PacWest Machinery, a heavy equipment dealer that sells and services machines for road building and earthmoving customers.
