Many rural business owners in Colorado are facing tough decisions as they approach retirement or seek to transition their business. When a buyer can’t be found, too often the result is closure — leaving communities without essential goods, services, and jobs.

This webinar explores a sustainable alternative: selling your business to your employees through an employee ownership transition. Experts will discuss what this process looks like, what resources are available to help, and how it can preserve your legacy while strengthening your community.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding your options for business succession
• How employee ownership works for small and rural businesses
• Funding and technical assistance available in Colorado
• Real examples of successful employee buyouts

Whether you’re a retiring owner, a community leader, or simply curious about succession options, this session will help you understand the path toward keeping local businesses locally owned.
