Unlock the Benefits of Employee Ownership Trusts for Business Succession in Milton Keynes, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire & London.

LET OUR LEGAL EXPERTS GUIDE YOU ON YOUR EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP JOURNEY
Employee Ownership Trusts continue to grow in popularity as an alternative to a third-party sale. As a business owner evaluating succession whether you’re based in Milton Keynes, Watfordshire, Hertfordshire or London – You may wish to consider sharing ownership of your company with your employees, by selling some or all of the shares that you own to an employee ownership trust (EOT).
Providing a set of qualifying conditions are met, a sale to an EOT is considered an alternative exit route and one with many advantages. It leaves the company in the hands of those who know it most; it benefits the employees in several ways; the seller can be part of the business post-sale; and the consideration for the sale shares that the seller receives is exempt from capital gains tax.
