What is Affiliate Membership?

We’re here to help you understand employee ownership, the options open to your business, and how you can make a success of the move to EO. 

Our Affiliate members can be divided into two camps: 

  1. Those thinking about and exploring EO who want to find out more about the legal, financial, and operational considerations.
  2. Those who’ve committed to making the move to EO and need help planning their announcement to the team, identifying best practice approaches to governance, and how to ensure the transition is a success. 

We understand confidentiality is important as you navigate whether EO is the right move for your business. This is something we take seriously here at the eoa. That’s why we have robust measures in place to maintain confidentiality until you are ready to share your great news.
