Selling to employees opens up a new pool of buyers, offering an efficient exit route for private equity firms

If you’re a Private Equity firm seeking efficient exit routes – especially where traditional buyers are limited or misaligned. Selling to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) introduces a new buyer class that can open up value from ‘trapped’ assets while aligning with impact and ESG mandates.

Employee ownership provides a strategic and cost-effective alternative that allows Private Equity firms to exit portfolio companies, enhancing impact credentials and minimising deal friction.

More reasons to choose Employee Ownership

Employee ownership offers a viable exit for businesses that may be overlooked by traditional buyers, allowing funds to release value from otherwise ‘trapped’ or hard-to-sell assets.

By enabling faster, lower-friction sales, employee buyouts can help deliver earlier liquidity to investors, supporting timely fund closures and improving IRR performance.

Help reduce transactional costs of exiting. Helping to improve return results for you and your fund.
