Selling your SME to Purpleshares also means passing it on to your employees

Discover how PurpleShares transforms acquired SMEs into sustainable businesses, driven by their employee-shareholders.

The employee share ownership model

A proven economic model in Europe, in large groups as well as in SMEs, which sustainably links employees to the success of your company.

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

A long-term vision that prioritizes stable growth, employee retention, 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 throughout the development process 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.
