Business Development
Helping businesses create lasting local wealth.
We support businesses at every stage, from starting and growing a new enterprise to transitioning an established company into employee ownership. Through hands-on support, technical assistance, and locally rooted partnerships, we help businesses build lasting value for their owners, workers, and communities.
Business Transitions
In 2023 we helped Equinox Woodworks transition to employee ownership. Read more here.
We provide support to established businesses that are interested in exploring or completing a conversion to employee ownership.
If you're a retiring business owner seeking support for succession planning, or if you wish to deepen ownership roots within your team, we're here to help. Our approach is designed to make the exploration and conversion process as smooth and informed as possible, ensuring your business and its people succeed together.
