About Valloop
Life in Ownership
Life in ownership means living in a world that works for the people who power it. It means having more than just a job and earning a wage but having a voice, sharing in the success and building lasting ownership.
This is the world Valloop exists to make possible. A world where employee ownership is a great alternative.
Our goal is to transition 20,000 SMEs into employee ownership. Backed by institutional support and powered by our platform, Valloop Exchange, we connect business owners and senior leaders with the support, tools, and templates they need to make employee ownership a credible and more accessible path.
We help business owners and senior leaders take a different approach – one that can benefit not just a few, but employees, their families, and the wider community. By passing businesses to the people who help build them, profits can be shared more broadly and long-term stability strengthened.
With SMEs making up 99.9% of the economy, and employee ownership often seen as complex and hard to access, there is a clear need for a more straightforward, inclusive approach and that’s what we’re focused on delivering.
We stand by
Six core values
Proud to be employee-owned
We are of course employee-owned and proud to be creating a culture where everyone's contribution matters, and success is something we all share in.
