This seminar will explain:

What is an EOT?
How does an EOT work?
What are the advantages of selling to an EOT?
Key Qualifying Conditions
When should an EOT be considered?
Benefits of employee ownership?
How can we help?
To find out more, come along to our Breakfast Seminar at Warwick Conferences Radcliffe, University of Warwick, and have a chat with professionals who can explain why this option is becoming a popular way to sell your business.
