LANCASTER, PA — Harbor Compliance has acquired Firstbase.io, a move that broadens its reach from domestic compliance services into a more global platform aimed at helping entrepreneurs launch, manage, and scale businesses with fewer regulatory hurdles.
The acquisition brings together Harbor Compliance’s core expertise in government filings and regulatory compliance with Firstbase’s technology-driven tools designed for founders navigating incorporation and early-stage operations. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Under the agreement, Firstbase will operate as part of Harbor Compliance, with customers continuing to use the same platform while gaining access to Harbor Compliance’s nationwide compliance infrastructure. Company executives said the goal is to preserve Firstbase’s functionality while strengthening it with expanded compliance services and operational support.
“Firstbase has built an all-in-one operating system for founders,” said Mike Montali, chief executive officer of Harbor Compliance. He said integrating Firstbase into the Harbor Compliance platform will help companies manage growth while staying compliant, particularly as they expand beyond initial startup phases.
The deal also extends Harbor Compliance’s reach to international entrepreneurs seeking to form U.S.-based businesses. Firstbase has supported more than 30,000 incorporations from nearly 200 countries, addressing a growing demand among global founders for simplified access to the U.S. market.
Company officials described the acquisition as a strategic step to accelerate innovation and deepen support for founders at every stage of business development. Customers are expected to benefit from expanded guidance, clearer regulatory pathways, and additional tools aimed at reducing friction in business formation and ongoing compliance.
Harbor Compliance said the combined capabilities position the company to play a larger role in an increasingly global startup ecosystem, where regulatory complexity remains a major barrier to growth.
