70%
of small businesses fail to sell
The problem
When an owner of a small business decides to retire, they frequently put their business up for sale. 70% of those small businesses fail to find a buyer. If these businesses shut down, it creates a lose-lose scenario.
The owner loses their retirement money, all the employees lose their jobs, and the community loses a valuable business.
Our solution
Teamshares buys these companies from retiring owners and immediately grants a portion of the stock to the employees of that company — making them owners. We do this because we believe that employee ownership is a win-win.
Through training and opportunity, employees' stake and wealth grow with the company, with a goal of 80% employee ownership over time. As a result, the company remains locally owned and embedded within the community, and the succession issue is permanently solved for the business.
Creating the world we want to live in
Creating the world we want to live in
In 2019 the Teamshares founders decided to start a company for one simple reason: to create the world they want to live in.
This inspired the mission of returning wealth to hardworking small business employees. It also applies to us. We owe it to ourselves and to each other to make Teamshares the best place we've ever worked, by leading with our values and reimagining company culture.
