CONVERSION

Through our novel Employee-Led Buy Out (ELBO) transaction model, A&H converts profitable companies from private ownership into employee ownership, paying the selling owners a fair price, locking in tax advantages for the enterprise, and ensuring employees will be the future beneficiaries of the company’s success.
