We know being an owner is hard work. You spend decades building your business, and your employees rely on you. Then, investors in suits and competitors walk in thinking they can just “buy you out,” without regard for your employees, culture, customers, and legacy. After going through these issues many times ourselves, we founded the Scientific Safety Alliance to solve this problem.
SSA provides a better alternative for owners than selling to private equity or private-equity-backed companies. We’re proudly 100% founder and employee owned (no outside investors), and offer a people-first approach. Owners create the ideal terms of their partnership, and SSA empowers their employees through equity ownership, partnership bonuses, better benefits, and regional promotion opportunities.
“We received countless acquisitions inquiries from investors, competitors, and individuals. We had many options to consider, but SSA’s people-first approach and employee-ownership program stood out clearly from the rest.”
We take care of your employees, legacy, and customers.
“I chose SSA because I wanted the best future for my employees. They received equity ownership and are now part of a bigger organization with growth opportunities”
