If you are approaching retirement and are looking for a transition that allows you to relinquish control with a level of assurance, then partial or full employee ownership could be an excellent option for you.
Using share ownership arrangements as a vehicle for succession can help protect your legacy and ensure the company you've created has a promising future. By partially or fully transferring control to the management team and/or employees that helped to build the company, you are able to make sure the core values of the company remain intact.
