Help your clients build sustainable companies

EOTs are emerging as one of the most adaptable, sustainable ownership models available. In this Certified Employee Ownership Advisor program course, you’ll learn how EOTs use trust structures to safeguard a company’s mission and preserve long-term independence, while still rewarding employees.

You will explore governance models, profit-sharing mechanisms, and when EOTs make more sense than ESOPs or cooperatives. For advisors, mastering EOTs means staying ahead of the curve with an option increasingly favored for mission-driven succession planning.

By the end of this coures, participants will be able to:

  • Comprehend the structure, purpose, and key features of EOTs
  • Evaluate the tax advantages and legal considerations associated with EOTs
  • Analyze the governance and key operational details of EOTs
