What is an Independent Buyout (IBO)?

An Independent Buyout (IBO) lets you leverage government-backed structures and incentives to buy out your shares - essentially a tax-free leveraged buyout of your own company.

By combining:

Commercial Financing

ESOPs

Qualified Rollovers

Tax Incentives

Other Federal Incentive Structures

An IBO creates a powerful alternative for business owners: the ability to achieve liquidity, capture tax benefits, and maintai independence - all without handing the reins to outside investors.

Use the same sophisticated financial techniques PE firms use to purchase a portion or all of your ownership but without the PE firm.
