My guest for this episode is Tiara Letourneau of Rewrite Capital Advisors. We discuss employee ownership trusts (EOTs) – both their history in the U.S. and U.K. and the work that Tiara and others have put into a successful push for similar, but even more flexible and innovative, legislation in Canada. The new Canadian EOT model allows employees to become owners without financial contributions, with the trust buying the shares and employees benefiting from the profit and equity, while also affording exiting owners a significant capital gains exemption. While Canada’s new EOT structure is a great exit option for a wide range of owners, Tiara is especially enthusiastic about its potential positive impact on small communities.
