The Employee Share Trust: Establishing A Dynamic Market For Your Employee Share Schemes

Background: The employee share trust is the most tax-efficient and commercially effective vehicle for operating an internal market in the shares of a private company. It allows employees in private companies to sell their shares to a willing market for value. The webinar explains, through the use of diagrams, how the employee share trust works in practice to support the operation of employee share schemes through the recycling of shares. Furthermore, it demonstrates how the employee share trust can facilitate succession planning and investment diversification for owner-managers of private companies and provide the basis for a management buyout.
