We develop and implement ownership transition strategies for private companies that include management and employee ownership. The most common strategies we use are ESOPs and management buyouts.
Pilot Hill Advisors is unique in its focus on advising companies evaluating internal ownership transition strategies that maximize value while including management and employees. We are motivated by our involvement in creating outcomes that benefit our clients and their stakeholders.
Pilot Hill Advisors does not utilize any single transition strategy or M&A technique. Frequently, a number of different strategies are needed to accomplish an owner's objectives. Every owner's goals and company situation are different and this will generally narrow down the choices.
Do I want to sell all or part of my company?
Do I want to exit the business now or remain involved?
What are the tax implications of these strategies?
Helping owners identify their priorities through discussion and analysis is how Pilot Hill Advisors guides its clients to create successful solutions.
The key to selecting the right transition strategy is planning. Only after the owner's goals are identified can a comprehensive analysis be conducted to determine the various alternatives available to achieving those objectives. This requires in-depth discussions and due diligence. Once the appropriate techniques have been selected, Pilot Hill Advisors will analyze and compare alternatives that optimize the outcome.
The founders of Pilot Hill Advisors have assisted hundreds of families, partners and entrepreneurs evaluate and implement transition strategies using Management Buyouts, Management Buy-Ins and ESOPs. Our expertise in finance, tax and organization dynamics provides the perspective needed to craft a customized ownership transition solution designed to address the varied objectives established by the business owner.
