Preserving Legacy, Enabling Transition
For generations, family-owned businesses have been the backbone of our economy, embodying values of tradition, perseverance, and innovation. At Laird Norton Company, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with family ownership, especially during times of transition. Whether you're navigating the need for a family member to sell their position due to life events (such as death, illness, divorce, or disagreements), managing the retirement of a key stakeholder, or planning for succession, our tailored minority investment can provide the liquidity solution and support you need.
We offer tailored minority investments of $5-20 million to address various scenarios, such as retirements, expansions, or succession planning, without compromising family control. Our partnership brings capital and strategic support, industry expertise, and a shared commitment to long-term success. By aligning with your values and vision, we help enhance your business's credibility and ensure it thrives for generations to come, preserving and growing your family's legacy.
