Selling non-core subsidiaries or legacy divisions to employees offers a faster, lower-cost solution
Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) reduce friction, speed up transactions and maintain business continuity. They also align with group ESG objectives and protect organisational culture.
Benefits of Disposing via Employee Ownership
Selling to employees often faces less internal resistance than third-party sales. Employee ownership provides continuity, protects jobs and aligns with the values of existing leadership - making it easier to secure buy-in and complete the transaction smoothly.
Disposing of a subsidiary to employee ownership can significantly reduce overall costs by eliminating the need for brokers, marketing campaigns and extensive due diligence processes - freeing up more value to be retained within the group or returned to shareholders.
Employee buyouts streamline the sale process, allowing businesses to realise value more quickly and redirect capital and leadership focus to strategic priorities or higher-growth divisions without prolonged distraction.
By reducing time-to-close and cutting professional fees, selling to employees can deliver better financial outcomes on non-core disposals, ultimately improving return on investment compared to traditional divestiture methods.
A sale of the SME to employee ownership ensures the business remains intact under familiar leadership, preserving employment and the company’s cultural identity - strengthening the group’s reputation with staff, customers, and external stakeholders.
