We then implement your ESOP plan, maximizing the transaction to meet your unique goals. This results in an actionable plan that aligns with all stakeholder objectives.
The Dual-Track Option
Unsure whether you should pursue an ESOP or a traditional M&A transaction?
We believe you should explore all viable options, which is why PCE pioneered the Dual-Track sales process. This process involves simultaneously pursuing a sale to a third-party buyer (a strategic buyer or private equity group) and a sale to an ESOP. This process allows you to evaluate and compare the most attractive liquidity alternatives that meet your goals.
