Determine ESOP feasibility
We’ll start off by helping you understand if an ESOP is the optimal solution for your company by analysing your business - its needs, employee demographics, organisational climate, and financial projections.
Employee Share Ownership Plans (ESOPs)
In addition to enabling BEE Ownership recognition, a well-structured ESOP creates powerful alignment between employees and business owners. ESOPs have been shown to increase business performance and talent retention, as well as strengthen labour relations.

Create value for employees
Achieve transparency and employee engagement in your ESOPs by having benefit structures that make business sense. Understanding liquidity mechanisms, having clear “good” and “bad” leaver provisions, as well as creating opportunity for meaningful employee benefit is important.
