Owner buy out

As an ambitious entrepreneur, have you built a successful company and reached a point where you wish to secure a portion of the value you've created, all while retaining your vision and involvement?

An Owner buy out offers precisely this. It's a strategic move allowing you to secure personal liquidity and, together with a hands-on partner, propel your business into its next phase of accelerated growth.

What's in it for you?

Securing Liquidity: A leveraged buy-out empowers you to unlock and secure the value you've already built, providing crucial personal liquidity, and de-risking your wealth in preparation for the next growth phase.

Hands-On Partner: We act as a dedicated, hands-on partner, strengthening your company's foundations to effectively navigate and accelerate its next growth phase. We bring proven expertise, having repeatedly scaled businesses from 20 to 250 employees by strengthening teams, structure, processes and technology.

Unleashing M&A Power: Benefit from our extensive M&A knowledge, experience, and resources, making ambitious buy-and-build strategies achievable.

Future reinvestment opportunities: Gain the flexibility to reinvest alongside Pillar in other compelling opportunities, further diversifying and growing your entrepreneurial portfolio.

What it looks like

  • Current situation

    As an entrepreneur, a substantial part of your built wealth is often tied up in company shares. You might seek liquidity to diversify or pursue other goals. This concentration can also make you more risk-averse, potentially influencing your appetite for new growth initiatives.

  • Transaction

    By utilizing a Leveraged Buy-Out (LBO) structure, we help secure significant personal liquidity, enabling asset diversification, while remaining in charge of the business as a significant shareholder. Pillar structures the transaction and comes on board as an active partner.

  • Post transaction

    We jointly accelerate the company's growth, including through strategic buy-and-build initiatives, to significantly increase share value.

    Additionally, you will get the opportunity to co-invest in other Pillar deals.
