Hosted by the Ontario Co-operative Association, this webinar explores how transitioning a small or medium-sized business to an employee ownership model can offer a practical, values-aligned approach to succession planning. The session highlights how these structures can help keep jobs, expertise, and long-term value rooted in the local economy.
In this session, our Founder, Jennifer Williams, provides an overview of the primary employee ownership models available in Canada, including co-operative ownership, Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs), and Employee Share Ownership Plans (ESOPs). The discussion outlines how each model works, where it may be a fit, and key considerations for business owners beginning to explore their options.
