Transfer of business through employee buyouts    How employee buyouts work? The shareholders sell their shares to a "participation co-operative" set up for the employees. The cash is provided through loans (bank loans or others) – the company guarantees the loans and the company will pay back the loans over time. In every profitable year, shares are usually distributed to all employees (through employee financial participation plans or stock options plans) - these shares can later be sold on the internal market. The more successful the company is, the faster the value of each person's shareholding rises. Everyone is truly a partner, sharing in information and influence, profit and capital ownership.
