A steward for your life’s work
Laguna Legacy acquires, operates, and scales independent U.S. customs brokerages & freight forwarders — protecting the client relationships and reputation broker-owners spent decades building, while giving their business a lasting home.
Why Laguna Legacy
We’re not a fund looking to flip your business. We’re operators building a permanent home for independent customs brokerages.
Long-term stewardship
We invest for the long run, preserving the relationships and reputation you’ve spent decades building — not extracting value and moving on.
Deep port community roots
Three decades of owner relationships across the LA port community, rooted in my family’s own independent freight forwarding business.
Cultural fluency
As a first-generation immigrant, I understand that customer trust takes a lifetime to earn.
Succession, done right
We build a transition plan that protects your team and your clients — not just a deal structure that protects the buyer.
Operational rigor
High-value compliance work clients actually pay for.
Room to grow
Cross-sell into freight forwarding, drayage, and warehousing as part of a growing network of partner brokerages.
Built on roots in the port community
