Compensation Design 
Key management personnel often require specific incentive compensation plans to properly motivate people to accomplish an owner's transition aspirations. Business owners rarely invest adequate time examining ways to most effectively inspire, retain and reward excellent work performance. After carefully assessing the business needs, compensation solutions will drive results. We provide objective options and recommendations to accomplish those targeted results.

Professional advisor coordination may be relevant depending on the type of program that is recommended - cash, phantom stock, stock, Employee Stock Ownerhsip Program (ESOP), Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation (NQDC), or some sort of cash / combination plan.
A retroactive way to reward for past achievements is thorugh bonus planning. PBN helps owners determine appropriate rewards for indiviudual contributions or for overall company past performance.
Many business owners have a son, a daughter, or a close relative that they would consider transferring ownership interest to. PBN's process and methods help assess, enlist and reward those skills and abilities you feel are most important to successfully taking over a business.
Existing sales compensation plans can be reviewed to identify and resolve concerns related to complexity, motivation and communication. Tracking spreadsheets or performance dashboards can be integrated into your compensation model.
- Multiple Owner Compensation Planning
Many times with partnerships, one business owner will be significantly less engaged than the other. Steps should be taken proactively with compensation planning or equity transfer before the issue escalates into a problem that is detrimental to the financial and operational health of the company.
