Consulting Services
It stands to reason that if employees have a stake in the outcome, they will be more motivated, focused, committed, and effective in their work. But figuring out how to implement that simple notion is where the real challenge comes in. The strategic and tactical issues are many and complex: Which equity-sharing vehicle(s) is right for your company? Who should be included? How many shares should they get - and when? What are the tax ramifications of these choices? And what will it cost to set up a program like this, anyway?
The experts at the Beyster Institute have been down this road many times. We know these issues intimately and can guide you through them in a way that will enable you to identify the choices that will be right for you and your organization.
Now part of a leding university business school, our organization was created to show business leaders how to tap the power of employee ownership to produce stronger, more successful companies. We believe that each company is different, and that an effective employee stock ownership program must be developed in a way that is responsive to the company's goals, values and particular situation.
Whether your company is completely new to employee ownership, or has had a program for many years, we can help you realize the full potential of employee ownership. Here's how:
 Exploring Employee Ownership Possibilties
There is a lot to consider when you start looking into employee ownership, many issues and alternatives to think about. Maybe you already know the perfect strategy for your company. If not, we’ll help you sort through the many possibilities to identify the path that best fits your needs.
 Creating an Employee Stock Plan
To create an effective employee ownership program, you’ll want the help of someone who understands your strategic goals from a business perspective while also providing technical expertise in the full range of legal, tax and regulatory issues that will apply. Our mission is to put employee ownership to work for you in a way that will increase your ability to achieve your business goals.
Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP)
An ESOP is a powerful tool that can make it possible for an owner to sell stock to the company's employees, often with financing from a bank loan. The advantages - tax savings, employee motivation, business perpetuation, and more - are significant. In close consultation with you, we'll map out the details.
Making the Most of Your Employee Ownership Plan
Perhaps you put in a plan a few years back, but have had problems or disappointing results. At the Beyster Institute we help companies transform ineffective programs into something that engages employees as motivated partners in enterprise.
Creating an Entrepreneurial Ownership Culture
When employees have an ownership mentality, they take responsibility, look ahead, resolve problems proactively, and take pride in their company's success. But there is more to generating that kind of entrepreneurial culture than simply handing out shares of stock. We'll show you how.
