Our Corporate Finance division is a fully Director-led boutique M&A advisory, specialising in working with a select few clients on sales valued up to £200m. More and more business owners are now considering the benefits that an Employee Ownership Trust can present as a way of securing a sale of their shares at fair market value. An Employee Ownership Trust is where a significant and meaningful stake in the business is placed into the hands of the employees, allowing them to indirectly buy the company from its shareholders without them having to use their own funds whilst also allowing the owner to be paid market value for their shares. EOTs also allow the sellers to retain a stake in the business if they wish, which is a common option for business owners using employee ownership as part of their retirement planning. At least 51% of the shares in a company must be placed into an Employee Ownership Trust for a business to qualify as employee owned. HOW IS AN EOT SALE STRUCTURED? An EOT can be broken down into three stages: THE SHAREHOLDERS' BENEFITS There are many benefits to a shareholder who pursues a sale to an Employee Ownership Trust, with the transaction typically being concluded at a quicker pace and often more financially beneficial. The benefits for the business owner include: THE BENEFITS TO THE COMPANY AND ITS EMPLOYEES An EOT places the business in the hands of people who know the business, have a strong personal commitment to its long-term success and are highly motivated by their ownership to make it thrive. The company benefits from ownership succession which preserves the business and its culture, a stronger performing business, a commitment to the longer term, and a more resilient and adaptable business. The company’s employees benefit from a clear shared purpose and collaborative way of working, more commitment and engagement due to ownership, and Income Tax-free annual bonuses. ARE THERE ANY TAX ADVANTAGES? EOTs provide a clear framework for employee ownership, as well as offering significant tax advantages. To obtain these tax advantages, an Employee Ownership Trust must contain a controlling interest in the company that is greater than 50%, be established for the benefit of all employees in the company, and treat all employees on an equitable basis. For many business owners, this creates two tax breaks: those selling their shares to an EOT may do so free of capital gains tax; and once a company is owned by an EOT, it can pay annual bonuses to its employees free of Income Tax. QUALIFYING CRITERIA There are certain criteria that must be met in order for an EOT deal to completed: THE NEXT STEPS KBS Corporate's experience makes us well-placed in advising you should you consider a potential sale to an Employee Ownership Trust. Our most recent deal involving an Employee Ownership Trust saw our clients complete a £9m deal for their agricultural business. The deal granted the company's long serving employees the fantastic opportunity to participate in future wealth creation whilst also providing a financial exit for the outgoing shareholders on highly attractive tax terms as provided for through the EOT scheme. Our team also recently advised our clients on the £8m sale of their South Wales-based Engineering business to its employees. If you are interested in exploring the advantages of a sale to an Employee Ownership Trust, please get in touch with our team at sell@kbscorporate.com or call 0161 258 0118 today. The UK Construction market is experiencing a period of growth in terms of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), with Bureau van Dijk reporting a 25% increase in the number of completed deals within the sector between 2017 and 2019. UK businesses within the industry commanded over £260 billion in transaction values last year, with 10% of those companies receiving inward capital from investment acquirers, whilst the UK was also amongst most popular acquisition targets globally within the sector. Private Equity activity within the sector is high, with investors such as Business Growth Fund and Foresight Group each adding to their construction portfolios over the past three years, whilst interest from large trade buyers and PLCs has seen RSK Group, Springfield Properties, and CET Structures each make several key acquisitions within the sector recently. The outlook for the sector is positive, and we fully expect dealmaking to remain strong as we continue to retain active buyers looking for suitable acquisitions. UK businesses are set to benefit from the investment of Private Equity capital that is currently standing at $1.5 trillion globally and UK PLC cash reserves in excess of £850 billion. Our Group reported a 43% increase in the total transaction value of deals for our clients within the Construction sector in 2019 compared with 2018. This was achieved on our way to being named the UK’s most active adviser by deal volume for the third year running, completing over 20% more deals than any other buyer. Our 'TripleTrack' approach explores a full or partial sale by targeting trade buyers, Private Equity buyers, or for relevant businesses, an IPO. This, coupled with unparalleled buyer reach, incorporating an effective blend of big data, proprietary technology and experienced researchers to target buyers across the Globe, puts us in the prime position to explore every possible avenue to build a deal to meet each client's objectives. We strive to continuously enhance our services and significantly invest into quality resources in order to become even better at finding buyers and maximising opportunities for our clients. Our success of last year resulted from record levels of interest from acquirers, with an increase of almost 30% in the number of prospective buyers being sourced, resulting in an uplift of buyer meetings of 42% and, ultimately, a record number of offers secured for our clients (up 34%).
