VEER to Sponsor the 2018 Canadian Employee Ownership Conference!

The team at VEER Business Advisors is very pleased to announce that we will be sponsoring the 2018 Canadian Employee Ownership Conference. The annual event, hosted by ESOP Association Canada, will take place June 4-6, 2018 in Edmonton, Alberta.

What is an ESOP?

An Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) allows employees, who qualify, to purchase shares in their employer's company, with or without the monetary assistance from the company.

Employees can acquire shares and ownership through an ESOP that can range from one percent to 100 percent. The key aspect is that employees have an ownership stake in the company they work for, and share in the risks and rewards that accrue to it.

This conference is for anyone interested or involved in equity sharing as an effective tool for business growth and exit planning. As in years past, the ESOP Association is anticipating an influential cross-sector participant group including business owners and CEO's of small and medium sized privately-held companies, employee-owners, executive leaders from large and medium public companies, co-op directors, and professional advisors.

Our team has had the pleasure of attending the conference in the past, and we were incredibly impressed by the success stories of companies who have adopted an ESOP ownership model as part of their corporate strategy.   It goes without saying that we were thrilled to be asked to become a sponsor for the 4th annual conference.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
