Harbour was founded in January 1987, in the beautiful city of Madison, Wisconsin by President and CEO, Nick Sondel. When Nick established Harbour, he envisioned a broker-dealer that truly was different from all the others. One that values strong working relationships, loyalty, personal connections, honesty and integrity. One that gives flexibility for advisors to run their businesses within the confines of prudent investing.
In April of 1987, Harbour acquired its first representative and established its long-time headquarters at One Odana Court.
