Details
This model documentation was produced for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) by Pett, Franklin and Co. LLP. It is a significant step towards meeting the 2012 Nuttall Review recommendation to develop ‘off-the-shelf’ toolkits to support employee ownership. Employee ownership is where all employees have a significant and meaningful stake in a business.
The related guidance explains the model documentation and some of the key options for businesses to consider in moving to employee ownership.
