At the Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center (RMEOC), our mission is to foster a more just and sustainable economy through employee ownership. Since 2012, we've been transforming businesses into employee-owned enterprises, promoting wealth creation for workers, and helping to close race and gender wealth gaps. Join us in building a resilient, equitable economy for everyone.
We help you explore employee ownership options, from ESOPs to worker co-ops and more, and choose the one that’s the best fit for you, your employees, and your business.
We help you structure the employee-owned entity, devise the logistics of the sale, and refer you to knowledgeable legal and financial advisors along the way to guide and close the deal.
We help employee owners understand their new roles to get the most out of the transition, and help create an ongoing culture of engagement for a more democratic and participatory workplace.

According to a Harvard Review Study, “The share of wealth held by the bottom 50% of Americans would more than quadruple, jumping from just 1.4% of the total net worth of Americans to 6.4%.”
That’s why RMEOC is here to promote employee-owned businesses in the Rocky Mountain Region.
