Employee Ownership is now the fastest growing ownership model for private companies in the UK. Brabners’ dedicated EO Team help businesses become employee owned and deliver long term, sustainable succession for their owners.

In this video, Partner, Stephen Hadlow, discusses what employee ownership means, focussing on the rise of the employee ownership trust (EOT) model in the UK. We also explore the advantages of employee ownership as a business succession solution and why owners, who place a high value on the cultural identity and independence of their business, see employee ownership as the right fit. We discuss the favourable tax landscape for EOT-owned businesses as well as the wider benefits for employees and the stability and resilience for the business associated with becoming employee-owned. Finally, we shine some light on the process of a sale to an EOT.

We explore the steps involved and the options to consider in starting a journey to becoming employee-owned, and how Brabners can help guide and deliver that transition.
