Looking to sell or exit your business?

At Project Equity, we help business owners through the process of transitioning their companies to employee ownership. The process begins with a free consultation, in which you can learn about employee ownership models and explore the fit with your goals and needs.

Our consultations are conversations with you. We want to understand your unique circumstances, help determine your timing and explore how employee ownership could fit into your plans.
