The Vermont Employee Ownership Center is a statewide non-profit whose mission is to promote and foster employee ownership in order to broaden capital ownership, deepen employee participation, retain jobs, increase living standards for working families, and stabilize communities. We provide information and resources to owners interested in selling their business to their employees, employee groups interested in purchasing a business, and entrepreneurs who wish to start up a company with broadly shared ownership.
We recently added three new interviews to our EO Convos video series! You can check them out below, and can view all the interviews on the series page on Youtube.
Another Employee Ownership Month is now in the books, so we figured we’d share some highlights from this year’s activities:
January 23, 2020, 3:00pm to 5:30pm
Join the Vermont Employee Ownership Center's board and staff for their annual meeting and/or legislative reception at the Vermont State House. The Annual Meeting will run from 3-4pm, and will be an opportunity to hear a bit in-depth about the VEOC's work. The Legislative Reception will run from 4:30-5:30pm, and feature a brief program, as well as heavy appetizers and beer from employee-owned breweries.
February 18, 2020, 1:00pm to 4:00pm
In this seminar, you will learn the basics of how to choose a path for ownership succession in your business. We will take a close look at four different ways of selling a business: to an outside buyer, to family members, to managers or to the larger group of employees. John Davis of Davis & Hodgdon Associates, a CPA with expertise in business valuation and exit planning, will be our lead presenter, and Don Jamison from the Vermont Employee Ownership Center will present a segment on selling a company to its employees. While we will get into some technical details, the focus will be on stories about each path, told by owners who have been involved in the sale of Vermont businesses.
June 11, 2020, 7:30am to 5:00pm
