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
