At Baxendale Employee Ownership, we have over 25 years’ experience of helping businesses and their owners navigate successful transitions in ownership and leadership of their organisations.

There are a small number of ownership succession options available to private businesses in the UK. In our experience, a one-size-fits-all approach to business ownership succession is often unhelpful as every business and business owner is different. We have learned that the most successful transitions in succession happen when:

• business owners have had the opportunity to explore and appraise all of the ownership succession options available to them
• a bespoke succession plan is prepared to meet the individual needs and objectives of exiting owners and their businesses

That’s why we’re hosting an upcoming webinar:

Ownership Succession: Exploring the Options & a Closer Look at Employee Ownership

📅 Tuesday 7 July 2026
⏰ 10:00 – 11:00am
📍 Online (Microsoft Teams)

Helping You Understand Your Options

In this webinar, we’ll walk you through the main succession routes available to business owners – covering trade sales, family succession, management buyouts, and employee ownership.

We’ll talk through the key differences between them in a straightforward way, including what they can mean financially and culturally, so you can start to think about what might feel right for you and your business.

A Closer Look at Employee Ownership

We’ll also spend some time exploring employee ownership in more detail – something we’re really passionate about.

It’s an option that more and more business owners are considering, particularly if they want to:

• Keep their business independent
• Protect the culture and values they’ve built
• Share future success with their employees

We’ll explain how it works in practice and give you a sense of when it might be a good fit.

Designed for Business Owners

This webinar is for business owners and founders who are:

• Thinking about their exit options
• Starting to explore what succession might look like

Whether you’re actively planning or just beginning to think ahead, this session is designed to help you take that next step with a bit more clarity.

Alongside the main presentation, there’ll be a chance to ask your questions.

Afterwards, if you’d like to keep the conversation going, we’d be happy to chat further – whether that’s pointing you towards useful resources or having an informal, no-obligation discussion.
