Buy the business

Most workers don’t know that to become worker-owners, they often don’t need to put down the money themselves and don’t need to take on the risk of huge personal loans.
How it Works
An impact investor or non-profit loan fund makes an offer on the workers’ behalf.
If the owner accepts the offer, the workers form a steering committee to manage the transition.
The employees, with the support of us and our partners, design the new governance structure, negotiate deal specifics, and plan to make the transition as smooth as possible.
The profits of the business pay the investor back over time.
When the employees leave or retire, they are paid out the value of their shares in the business.
