Worker Owned 101: A Smart Option for Your Business Legacy
Presented by City of Santa Clara
Thursday, April 22 at 12 PM
Worker Owned 101 allows Santa Clara businesses and business service providers to explore the benefits of the worker-owned business model (eg. worker-owned cooperatives) and why small business owners should consider a transition to worker ownership as a succession option.
Transitioning to worker ownership via an employee buy-out allows you to:
- Secure the financial benefits of your investment and hard work
- Retain quality jobs for employees
- Preserve the legacy of the company to continue and operate locally
Join us to learn:
- How employee ownership works
- If employee ownership is a viable option for your business
- How employee ownership increases employee engagement
- How employee ownership preserves your legacy in the community
- Financing opportunities available and how to receive a fair sales price
Keep San Diego Businesses Thriving: An Employee Ownership Workshop
Hosted by San Diego Workforce Partnership
June 17, 2021 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time
San Diego Workforce Partnership, in partnership with Project Equity, will discuss how locally owned businesses can thrive with employee ownership.
Local businesses are the backbone of our communities. They are facing significant challenges due to the COVID-19 crisis. Add to this the challenge that baby boomers own more than half of privately held businesses with employees in California.
For businesses owners interested in succession planning employee ownership can be a powerful tool.
