The Purpleshares employee share ownership model

A proven economic model that transforms employees into true partners in the company's success.

Employees become shareholders in their company, creating a unique alignment of interests.

A long-term vision (10-20 years) that prioritizes stable growth and profitability.

A strengthened corporate culture, increased engagement and pride of belonging.

What is employee share ownership?

A shareholding model where employees are part owners of the company.

0%

We acquire an SME, find a new owner to manage the company, and grant shares to employees immediately upon acquisition. This provides genuine participation in the company, aligning the interests of shareholders and employees.

80%

The stake held by the buyer and employees increases over time until they own 80% of the company, with PurpleShares ultimately retaining 20%. Employees participate in defining the strategy and contributing to the success of the SME.
