Considering an Exit? Employee Ownership Trusts Could Be the Answer. When it comes to exiting your business, leaving a lasting legacy is often just as important as achieving financial security. An Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) allows your employees to acquire a majority stake in the business while offering significant tax advantages. At GS Verde Group, we have the expert knowledge to guide businesses through the EOT process, offering expert support across law, finance, tax, and communications. One of our recent success stories is Educ8 Training Group, where employees now own 51% of the business. By choosing an EOT, the company has safeguarded its future while rewarding the team that helped it grow. Our in-house team managed the legal, financial, and structural aspects, ensuring the process was handled efficiently and without disruption to the business. If you're considering an exit and want to reward your employees while securing your company’s future, an EOT could be the ideal solution. ✉️ Get in touch at: [email protected] The business focused experts in getting deals done Law - Finance - Tax - Communications Augmenting Reality : Increasing Success Multiple Disciplines: One Team #EmployeeOwnership #EOT #SuccessionPlanning #BusinessExit #GSVerdeGroup

For many business owners, their business isn’t just a company, it’s years of passion, sacrifice, and dedication. Thinking about the next step can feel daunting, but it’s also an opportunity to secure the legacy you’ve built and plan your future.

If you’re considering a sale, a Management Buyout (MBO), or an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), acting now could mean preserving more of the value you’ve worked so hard to create. At GS Verde Group, we’ve helped business owners like you achieve successful exits (full and partial) tailored to their unique goals. 🎄 This Christmas, let’s talk about your next chapter. Whether it’s over a festive coffee or a quick call, we’re here to help you explore your options and start planning for 2025. 💬 You’ve built something incredible.
