Course Overview

Employee ownership can provide a practical path for business owners who are considering succession, liquidity, legacy, and employee retention. This course introduces employee ownership in the context of the "Silver Tsunami" small business closure crisis and explains why advisors should understand employee ownership as part of broader philanthropic and legacy planning conversations.

The course reviews forms of broad-based employee ownership, including employee stock ownership plans, worker cooperatives, and employee ownership trusts. It also explores strategies advisors can use in philanthropic planning, such as favorable selling price, charitable giving, impact investing, and acting as an external champion for employee ownership transitions.

Major Topic:

  • Silver Tsunami and small business closure crisis
  • Forms of broad-based employee ownership
  • Employee ownership strategies in philanthropic planning
  • Donor-advised funds, planned giving, and impact investing
  • Employee ownership transition structures and advisor engagement
  • Wealth distribution and economic equity impacts

Participants will examine financial tools and structures that can support employee ownership transitions, including donor-advised funds, legacy and planned giving, private foundation giving, program-related investments, and impact investment funds. The course also highlights advisor engagement opportunities, common owner objections, and the broader impact of employee ownership on wealth distribution and economic equity.
