Take the EO Fit CheckCould employee ownership be right for your business?
Get clarity before deciding your next move. Explore whether selling to your employees could be a practical path for your business and a way to preserve your legacy.
Why consider an internal transition?
The typical path—appointing advisors and running an external sales process—is not the only option. An Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) offers an alternative approach to succession.
A clear transition path
Employee ownership removes the dependency on finding an external trade buyer or private equity firm, offering a transition structure that you and your team can lead.
A practical financial model
Structured correctly, selling to your employees can be funded by the future steady performance of the business, often requiring no personal borrowing from the team.
A structured way to preserve culture
Keep the business in the hands of the people who helped build it. An internal sale may reduce the risk of third parties restructuring your operations.

"We tried selling Craig cyber security. He ended up selling us the dream of employee ownership."
