The VEOC's Business Assessment can help evaluate whether employee ownership makes sense for you and your business. It is designed to:
- Assess the suitability of employee ownership as a way to achieve your business and personal goals
- Present various structures for such a conversion which might be appropriate for you, along with the key advantages and disadvantages of each
- Outline decisions to be made and further steps to take to achieve your goals
- Provide you with additional information and contacts
We follow a multi-step process to assure an individualized result to meet your needs, including:
- A personal interview and assessment questionnaire to gather relevant information
- Brief interviews with key managers or employees to introduce key concepts and assess interest
- Preparation of a 3-5 page report summarizing our findings and providing a clear path for you to follow to continue your exploration or begin an implementation
- Identification of additional sources of information – publications, websites, people – to probe even deeper if you are not yet ready to make a decision
