Employee Ownership Trusts

An Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) is a legal arrangement where a trust holds company shares on behalf of employees, giving them a stake in the business. This structure is designed to benefit employees by involving them in the company's success, often leading to shared profits and a greater sense of ownership. It also ensures the company remains employee-focused and can facilitate smooth business succession. EOTs are increasingly popular as a way for business owners to pass on their company while rewarding and incentivizing staff.
