Tailored strategies for your business transition

At PCE, we specialize in sell-side services for business owners considering transitioning out of their company or monetizing a portion of the equity they have built. We understand that selling a business is not just about finding a buyer and completing a transaction; it's about finding the right partner who aligns with your goals and aspirations. We work closely with you to design your ideal exit strategy, whether it involves partnering with private equity, staying on board to grow a larger organization, or achieving a quick or gradual retirement.

Our approach goes beyond the traditional buyer and seller focus. We aim to find the perfect partner, buyer, or scenario that meets your unique requirements. We recognize that selling your life's work involves more than just monetary considerations. It's about finding the right person to entrust your legacy to and ensuring a smooth transition. Whether you're seeking personal or business liquidity, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

The Dual-Track option

Unsure whether you should pursue a traditional M&A transaction or an employee stock ownership plan?

We believe you should understand all your options, which is why PCE pioneered the Dual-Track sales process, which 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.
