Employee ownership
Over the next ten years, 3 out of every 4 small and medium businesses in Canada will change hands.
Is yours one of them?
Do you know that selling to your employees is a viable succession plan?
We can meet every owner where they are, with the right tool for their situation
whether through EOTs, ESOPs, ESPPs, phantom-stock ownership, or a combination of alternatives.
Through employee ownership, business owners protect their legacy.
Employee ownership can range from 1% to 100% of the company.
Employee ownership keeps Canadian businesses in Canadian hands.
Owners can realize the full value of their business while employees benefit financially.
On January 1, 2024, Canada passed a new law creating Employee Ownership Trusts: a dedicated vehicle allowing Canadian business owners to sell their companies to their employees.
The first $10 million in capital gains realized on the sale of a business to an EOT is exempt from taxation.
As a founding member of the Canadian Employee Ownership Coalition, Rewrite Capital Advisors was crucial in getting this law passed.
The EOT is designed to have the redistributive equity power of the US ESOP, with the flexibility and ease of implementation of the UK EOT. This makes the Canadian EOT the most innovative and exciting employee ownership structure in the world.
EO transactions are complex and require knowledgeable deal leaders who understand the sale. Let us be your partners.
