FOR EMPLOYEES
Heard your boss is retiring?
Employee ownership could keep your job in the neighborhood, and give you a share of the profits and a voice in the business.
Another path for the business you help run
When a small business owner retires without a plan, the business often closes or is sold to someone who may not keep the team.
An Employee Ownership Trust is another path. The business is sold to a trust that holds it for the people who work there, for good. With AllHold, the trust owns the building too, so the business can't be priced out of its home.
What it means for you
No buy-in, no debt, no risk
You don't buy anything, borrow anything, or put up any money, and nobody personally guarantees a loan.
A share of the profits
Employees become beneficiaries (the people the trust exists to benefit: the employees) of the trust and share in profits tied to how the business performs.
A real voice
Employees have a seat on the trust's governance (how decisions get made, and who makes them) committee and, over time, help set the profit-sharing formula and priorities.
Day one looks the same
The same team, the same day-to-day leadership, and the same neighborhood.
Training that's paid for
AllHold provides up to three years of hands-on training in governance, financial literacy, and leadership. Employees never pay AllHold for education or technical assistance.
The building stays with the business
The trust owns the real estate along with the business, so it can't be sold out from under you.
How profits are shared
Cash moves in a simple, predictable order: operating costs and debt service come first, then reserves, then distributions, so everyone can see how results become payouts.
Questions employees ask us
No. There are no shares to buy or sell. The trust owns the business permanently on behalf of the people who work there.
