Overview
What you will study
With a record number of Canadians approaching retirement age, employee ownership trusts (EOTs) have enormous potential to change the way owners structure and sell their businesses. EOTs are a legal structure that businesses can use, typically for succession planning, to allow their employees to become shareholders of the business through a trust. Cited benefits of EOTs include greater control for business owners over the selling process, preserving the company’s legacy, higher employee retention and tax advantages.
The Proposed New Law to Facilitate Employee Ownership Trusts course offered by York University will give you the opportunity to engage with a diverse panel of experts in law, tax and business and get the questions you want answered.
