ARTICLE
Selling your Business? Why not sell to
your employees?
Planning
for succession is one of the biggest challenges a business owner will face, and
despite the fact that giving the topic early consideration can mean better
results for the employer, the employees and the business, many delay.
Instead
of viewing succession planning as a daunting task, Scottish Enterprise is
encouraging businesses to see the potential for change as an opportunity to
secure their business’ future and improve its performance.
As a
succession solution which can bring a host of benefits, employee buyouts are
becoming increasingly popular in Scotland. Becoming employee-owned gives staff
a meaningful stake in the business, boosting productivity and performance,
whilst ensuring the company is anchored in the local area, retaining jobs and
skills.
For
Jerba Campervans, which was sold to the employees by husband and wife team
Simon Poole and Catherine Brookes earlier this year, selecting the right
succession option was vital to maintain the intimate approach and the niche
upon which the business was founded
Commenting
on the decision, Simon Poole said: “Employee ownership is an excellent business
model which benefits everyone. Catherine and I can continue with our day to day
roles in the business for as long as we need to, with the knowledge that the
future is taken care of, while our employees are given a stake in the business
and a say in how it is run. Not only do we envisage this driving job
satisfaction, productivity and innovation, it ensures that the business’ unique
ethos is preserved.
To help business owners
decide whether an employee buyout could work for their business, Scottish
Enterprise will be hosting a series of ‘Selling your Business’ workshops over
the coming months, exploring succession options including employee ownership.
If you are a business owner considering an exit from your company, these
workshops are an excellent opportunity to hear from succession and employee
ownership specialists, as well as employee-owned companies themselves. View the full programme of workshops.
