EFES NEWSLETTER - JULY 2020

Employee share ownership for SMEs

Worldwide, there is a model for employee share ownership plans for SMEs a thousand times more effective than all the others. It is the ESOP. It is very suitable for SME owners, as well as for employees.

Why? Because it is based on today's financial techniques, not those of past centuries.

In this model, employees do not have to find the money, sacrifice their savings, take the risk.
Indeed, just as can be seen in the leveraged buyout techniques, it is the company and its shareholders that  provide the financing and the guarantees.

How can we introduce this type of employee share ownership plan in every European country? A group of European and American experts explains how in this publication
