We want to buy your business, and give it to your employees.
We are a Search Fund specifically for ESOPs. We bring the capital to get you fair market value for your business, and a deal now. We also bring the leadership and operational know-how to get your management team ready to run the business on their own, which can take a few years. Ask us how we can use the tax benefits of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan to get you a better-than-private equity after-tax exit value now, without selling to the highest bidder that won’t protect your culture.
You’ve poured your heart and soul into building your business. You care deeply about your mission and the people who make it all happen – your employees. As you consider your next chapter, the thought of selling can bring up a lot of questions and concerns:
If these questions resonate with you, you’re not alone. Many mission-focused business owners like you, considering an exit in the next 5-10 years, grapple with these same challenges. You might be exploring options like selling to a third party or creating an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), but the path forward isn’t always clear.
Selling or transitioning shouldn’t be a headache. We offer a straightforward path forward. If figuring out an ESOP feels like too much, let us handle it.
We get it – sometimes the business runs you more than you run it. Our team of experts can step in, get the engine humming, and build a more transferable business in months, not years.
You deserve to be rewarded for your hard work, without compromising your conscience.
Pragma Group is actively buying businesses like yours. We’re not your typical buyer. We see the heart you poured into your company and the value of your dedicated employees.
