Employee Ownership Trusts

An Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) allows the shares in a business to be held within a Trust fund for the benefit of the employees of that business. An EOT is a viable method for a business owner to transfer some or all of their shares without needing to sell to a third-party or investor. Visit our Employee Ownership page for more information.
