Owning your business is special – it can represent a lifetime’s work. So how do you exit in a way that sets you, your organisation and your senior leaders up for success? If employee ownership is an option, how do you equip them for the new responsibility that employee ownership will bring?

At JGA, we can help. We prepare owners and leaders to transition smoothly to employee ownership – with our Owner and Leadership Readiness support.

Our approach enables you to clarify your legacy, vision and values, define future roles, and proactively manage your business’s employee ownership transition. We equip owners and leadership teams to foresee and adapt to the challenge of change.

What do we do?

We specialise in the personal and cultural elements of employee ownership transition. We focus first on what you, as owner, want to achieve for yourself, then help you reflect on how this could impact your business. As experienced independent advisors, we provide constructive options for you to assess. We design and facilitate an Owners’ Workshop, followed by a written summary and activity planner of priority steps.

Our Senior Leadership Workshop identifies and develops your team’s understanding of employee ownership. Through honest challenge, it spotlights gaps in core skills and behaviours, with an activity planner of priority steps and recommendations (if required).

What do you gain?

We equip owners and leaders with the clarity to design and manage their own employee ownership transition. Working with us pre-transaction ensures your agreement’s legal structure secures the legacy you want.

We deepen your understanding of the values, beliefs and narrative that underpin your culture, communications and engagement. New leaders gain the tools to thrive through cultural change.
