From Founder to Future is helping small business owners to make succession plans that include less well-known options: the various forms of employee ownership. There are approximately three million American small businesses with employees whose founder(s) are over 55. In each of these, a transition will occur as owners age out during the coming years. Those who advise small business owners – accountants, attorneys, financial planners, business brokers, and succession consultants – are mostly unaware of the different employee ownership options. From Founder to Future brings these into focus. As well as nuts-and-bolts information, the book provides stories of exemplary companies to help owners visualize and internalize the benefits of conversion to employee ownership.
