Legacy Rooted.
Resolute in Excellence.
Stewarding with Purpose.
Who we are
At Sharp Legacy Holdings Co., we are guided by more than profit — we are guided by purpose. Rooted in a deep respect for legacy, we aim to acquire and grow service-based business with the long view in mind: honoring what’s been built, elevating operations with excellence, and stewarding the business forward with care.
Founded by Tarra Sharp, a 15-year operations and strategy leader, our firm is committed to building an enduring company that serve their customers exceptionally and create opportunity for the people within them. We aren’t just buying a business — we will preserve the values that made the business strong and position it to thrive for generations to come.
Our expertise is in B2B services and tech-enabled companies, and are focused on that type of business for acquisition in the Midwest. Our approach is hands-on, values-driven, and designed for long-term success — not a quick exit. When we acquire a business, we will carry its story forward — rooted in legacy, refined by strategy, and led with purpose. Moreover, we care about the employees that make the businesses run, and will develop opportunities, incentive plans and benefits that enable employees to share in the success of the organization and maintain dignity in their work.
At the heart of this mission is faith and family. Guided by a commitment to live out our faith through action, Tarra leads with integrity, service, and stewardship. Her partner in all life endeavors is her husband, Evan Sharp, an Executive Director at Russell Reynolds and Associates. Together, they are raising their daughter, Ellis, with love, intention, and joy — supported by their two loyal dogs, Kofi and Shiloh.
Long-term residents of Chicago, Tarra (originally from Dallas, TX) and Evan (from Des Moines, IA) are active supporters of the city’s vibrant arts community and enjoy spending time on the water as sailors. They are passionate about justice, equity, and fairness — and believe deeply in using their gifts, resources, and privileges to serve others and invest in a more equitable future for all.
