Book onto This Session

When an external party expresses interest in acquiring your employee owned business, the response requires careful consideration - both legally and culturally. 

This session explores the strategic, legal, and governance implications of a potential sale, including the role of trustees, the board, and the employee owners themselves. 

Whether you want to preserve EO values or understand your options, this session will help you navigate the complexities of such an offer with clarity and confidence.

  2. Assess how a sale aligns (or conflicts) with EO principles and what to weigh beyond the financials
  3. Understand the powers of the trust, the role of the board, and what obligations exist to employee owners
