Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) can offer an alternative exit route for many business owners, but despite their rising popularity, many owners are still unaware of this option and the benefits it can bring them, their business and their employees.

An EOT is effectively a trust created by a company’s owners to enable its employees to become beneficiaries of it, and indirectly hold a stake in it.

Figures released earlier this summer showing a 37% increase in the number of employee-owned businesses over the last 12 months. But what is driving businesses to opt for employee ownership, and how has the landscape changed over the past year?

Whether you’re an owner, entrepreneur, advisor, executive, or simply curious about the concept, this webinar is the perfect opportunity to learn about the benefits of EOTs and how they can be successfully implemented within your organisation.

This webinar covers:

  • Insights into the rising trend of EOTs
  • Advantages and unique opportunities that EOTs offer to both employees and business owners
  • How EOTs differ from alternative methods, such as MBOs and third-party sales
  • How EOTs are structured
  • The common misconceptions
