Small Business Workshop - Business Ownership by Employees

We are offering a series of workshops on different subjects related to starting/running a small business led by SCORE volunteers, the nation’s largest network of expert business mentors. In this workshop, join Taylor Knickel to learn about succession planning through employee ownership. She will explain the powerful benefits of employee ownership for your company, yourself, and your employees.
Employee ownership allows owners to transition company ownership to employees rather than third-party buyers, keeping the business operating and retaining jobs in the community. When employees own a stake in the company, they are more motivated and engaged to think and act like owners. This "ownership mindset" results in higher productivity, increased profitability, improved retention, and more company resilience. Learn how employee ownership can prepare your business for a sale.
Taylor Knickel is Executive Director of the Texas Center for Employee Ownership, the nonprofit hub for resources and information on employee ownership in Texas. She brings 15 years of experience in community organizing and civic engagement.
