Our story
Built to unlock potential. Driven to deliver growth.
Freedom Key Capital Partners was founded in 2026 with one clear purpose: to give small business owners and entrepreneurs the strategic edge and capital clarity they need to grow — on their own terms.
Our mission
We believe every ambitious business deserves a real partner.
Too many small businesses stall not because of a lack of ambition, but because of a lack of access — to capital, to strategy, to the right guidance at the right time. We exist to close that gap. Freedom Key Capital Partners is the firm that sits across the table from you, not above you.
Clarity
We cut through complexity and give you a clear picture of your options, your path, and your potential.
Partnership
We're not consultants who hand you a report and disappear. We're partners invested in your outcome.
Ambition
We push you to think bigger — and then we build the strategy to back it up.
Integrity
Every recommendation we make is grounded in what's right for your business, not what's easiest for us.
Meet the founders
Two leaders. One shared vision.
Chief Executive Officer
Jeremy Hughes
Jeremy Hughes founded Freedom Key Capital Partners with a conviction that small businesses are the backbone of the American economy — and that they deserve the same quality of strategic and capital advisory that larger enterprises take for granted.
With a background spanning business development, financial strategy, and entrepreneurial leadership, Jeremy brings a forward-thinking, results-first approach to every client engagement. His ability to see both the big picture and the granular details of a business's financial position has helped clients unlock growth they didn't know was possible.
"The key to growth isn't just capital — it's the clarity to know how to use it."
Co-Founder & Principal
Craig Pruitt
Craig Pruitt brings deep expertise in business expansion strategy and capital advisory, with a track record of helping entrepreneurs navigate the complex decisions that define a company's trajectory. He co-founded Freedom Key Capital Partners to build the kind of firm he wished had existed earlier in his career.
Craig is known for his direct, no-nonsense approach to strategy — he asks the hard questions, challenges assumptions, and builds plans that are ambitious but grounded in financial reality. His clients describe him as the advisor who tells you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear.
"Growth without a plan is just hope. We turn ambition into a roadmap."
