Benefits of Converting to a Employee Ownership:
- Legacy Preservation: Selling your business to those who know it best is a great way to keep it thriving into the future. Employee-owned businesses have been shown to increase productivity and value, provide stability and resilience in economic downturns, and contribute to their communities in meaningful ways.
- Employees are Rewarded: Employee owned businesses provide employees with opportunities to engage in decision making, step into leadership roles, and share in financial successes of the business, often resulting in higher retention rates.
- Regional Impact: Employee-owned businesses keep businesses, jobs, services, and wealth in local economies.
- Owner Benefits: A fair market price is paid to the owner, tax benefits are available, and a transition that meets succession goals is planned for.
