First Choice clients can access Reins' dynamic custom solutions to maximize value and retain key employees during business sales or exits

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Reins, a pioneering technology firm dedicated to empowering small businesses through modern equity solutions, announces a partnership with First Choice Business Brokers (FCBB), a premier business brokerage and M&A firm facilitating successful business transactions by connecting qualified buyers and sellers. Reins chose to partner with FCBB because of their clear leadership and unmatched expertise in the business brokerage and lower-middle market M&A industry.

"We're excited to join with Reins to enhance the value we offer customers," said Linda Nyman, co-founder of FCBB. "This partnership gives First Choice clients a powerful new tool in addition to our expert team of trained brokers."

Through the partnership, FCBB clients can access Reins' dynamic, technology-driven custom equity incentives programs, including the unique Modern Agreement for Rewards & Equity (MARE).

Reins' personalized plans and advanced software empower small business owners to give employees a stake in the business through owner-like benefits or profit-sharing initiatives. Implementing an equity and profit-sharing program through the MARE not only incentivizes key employees but also paves the way for smooth succession planning. By offering a stake in the company's success, employees are more deeply invested in the long-term growth and stability of the company.

"Connecting with First Choice Business Brokers allows us to help more small businesses prepare for major transitions," said Chris Buttenham, co-founder of Reins. "A sale or acquisition may be followed by key employee turnover, which can impact the value of a business. Setting up a strategic exit plan can help retain key team members and mitigate potential disruption. We're partnering with FCBB to advise their customers on plans for incentivizing retention and streamlining the transition period."

Reins delivers innovative equity-sharing plans to underserved small businesses across America. The company's customized programs incentivize long-term retention of key employees so owners can reduce turnover, streamline operations and effectively develop and implement a successful exit strategy. Reins also empowers employees of small businesses with transparent, merit-based incentives, from performance bonuses to phantom stock and profit-sharing plans.

Guided by thoughtful prompts, owners can create custom equity agreements and seamlessly manage and sign all documents electronically. The app includes a robust vesting schedule tracker and a communication portal that keeps employees informed about their equity status and milestones.
