Departure from convention
Key points
- Planning communicating and finalising a change of company ownership is never simple.
- Employee ownership trusts (EOTs) facilitate wider employee ownership through an indirect holding.
- From a tax perspective the benefits of an EOT are generous and immediate.
- EOTs are becoming an increasingly popular exit route for business owners.
- There are factors which can increase the due diligence workload for EOT transactions and the complexity of the sale – compared with a third-party business sale.
- Specialist EOT advisers prepared the trust documentation to ensure legislative compliance.
