Employee Ownership keeps Canadian businesses in Canadian hands.

3 out of every 4 Canadian businesses will change hands in the next decade. ‍Is yours one of them?‍

‍Employee ownership is a made-in-Canada succession plan, one that keeps jobs, decisions, and profits in the communities that built the businesses.

Sell to your employees. Keep it Canadian.

On January 1, 2024, Canada passed a new law creating Employee Ownership Trusts: a dedicated vehicle allowing Canadian business owners to sell their companies to their employees.

As a founding member of the Canadian Employee Ownership Coalition, Rewrite Capital Advisors was crucial in getting this law passed.
‍
The EOT is designed to have the redistributive equity power of the US ESOP, with the flexibility and ease of implementation of the UK EOT. This makes the Canadian EOT the most innovative and exciting employee ownership structure in the world.

We can meet every owner where they are, with the right tool for their situation.

Whether through EOTs, ESOPs, stock options, synthetic equity, MBOs, or a combination of alternatives.

Employee Ownership doesn't have to be all of nothing.

Employee ownership can range from 1% to 100% of the company.

Owners can realize the full value of their business while employees benefit financially.

Rewrite Capital Advisors aligns owners' goals with positive outcomes for everyone involved.
