EO+: More Paths to Employee Ownership
Ownership models that meet your needs, wherever you are in your journey.

Protect your company when it’s time to sell the business

If the EOT is Canada's newest tool for employee ownership, EO+ is everything else in the toolkit.

EOTs aren’t right for every company. Some owners want to sell in stages. Some want employees to buy in directly. Some want to keep control while still sharing the upside. EO+ is our umbrella term for these other structures: share purchase plans, stock options, synthetic equity, management buyouts, and hybrid structures.

EO+ lets us build the structure that fits your company, your goals, and your appetite for change.

We can meet every owner where they are, with the right tool for their situation.

EO+ Toolkit

Share Purchase Plans (ESOP)

Employees purchase shares directly, often financed through payroll deduction, company loans, or bonus conversion.

Stock Options

Stock options let employees earn the right to acquire ownership over time, often layered onto an existing compensation structure.

Management Buyout (MBO)

An Management Buyout concentrates ownership in the hands of the management team who will run the company day to day.

Synthetic Equity

Phantom stock, stock appreciation rights, and other synthetic equity plans let employees participate in the company's growth in value without holding actual shares.

Hybrid Structures

Sometimes one structure alone doesn't meet all of an owner's goals. A hybrid employee ownership structure combines two structures in one company.

A plan is only as good as the culture built around it.

Designing a structure is only half the work. EO+ includes the implementation that comes after: measuring employee engagement, building the plan committee, assisting with the communication strategy, and giving employees real visibility into what they own and why it matters. We track this with our own engagement tools so your plan keeps delivering value long after the transaction closes.
