General, Leadership, Strategy

For any of our clients who are considering exiting their business, we often ask them to think about the legacy they are hoping to leave.  For some owners they are happy to move out of the business without a backwards glance but for others it is essential that they know that the business they created continues to prosper for the benefit of clients and employees.  For the latter, exploring employee ownership is a great possibility to explore as it enables owners to pass on their business in a tax efficient way but also ensures that the staff have a tangible stake in the future running of the business.

To assess whether employee ownership might be the right option for you South West Growth Service will be hosting a workshop, sponsored by Triodos Bank UK, which will be considering the following key questions:

• Why your organisation should consider employee ownership - led by Jeremy Gadd of JG Associates
• The journey to employee ownership - Rachael Whitson of Absolute PR
• Achieving the right structure - Catherine Carlton, Stephens Scown  
• Financing Employee Ownership transactions - John Sharpe, Triodos

This event will be on Thursday 12th October between 0830 and 1130 at Devon Business & Education Centre.  For tickets,  click here
