For many business owners, succession planning can feel like a difficult decision. Who will take over the business? What happens to the employees? How can you protect the legacy you have built while securing a sustainable future?
Employee Ownership (EO) offers an alternative approach, enabling business owners to transfer ownership to their employees while creating an opportunity for the business to remain independent and continue to thrive.

- What is Employee Ownership? – an introduction to the different models and how they work.
- Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) – understanding the most common route for businesses considering EO.

- The succession process – an overview of what is involved in moving from owner-led to employee-owned.
- Financial and tax considerations – the key issues business owners need to understand.
- Governance and employee voice – what changes when a business becomes employee-owned.
