BUILDING THE FUTURE OF EMPLOYEE-OWNED COMPANIES.

A Different Kind of Next Chapter

You’ve built more than a business. You’ve built a team, a culture, a reputation and a legacy worth protecting.

Rise ESOP Collective offers business owners an alternative to a traditional sale. We acquire strong companies and bring them into our employee-owned structure, helping preserve what makes them successful while creating new opportunities for the people who helped build them.

The company keeps moving forward. Employees gain a stake in its future. And your legacy has the opportunity to grow for generations to come.

Three Reasons Owners Choose Rise

1

Protect Your Legacy

Your company’s reputation, relationships, and culture matter. We seek healthy businesses we can strengthen for the long haul - not flip for short-term gains.

2

Invest in Your People

By joining an established employee-owned organization, your employees become part of something bigger: a shared success culture built on earned equity and sustainable growth.

3

Join an Established ESOP

Rather than investing years and significant expense creating your own ESOP, you can become part of one that has successfully operated since 1998 - complete with proven governance, experienced leadership, and established systems.

Business Owners

Rise partners with business owners who are interested in selling and seeking a succession plan that sustains their business, want a guaranteed way to protect their employees and local culture, and are seeking a highly competitive alternative to traditional private equity.

Advisors

We collaborate closely with a variety of advisors and partners, including, attorneys, CPAs, wealth managers, business brokers, and investment bankers to help business owners transition their companies with confidence and care.
