SightCare

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from us all at SightCare! Our offices close at 1.30pm today and will reopen on 2 January.

To ensure we’re focusing on what truly benefits you, we’re asking for your input on the specific challenges you face in your practice. Your feedback will help shape the discussion topics ahead of our Sunday SightCare Conference sessions – The World Café with Piers Carter: https://buff.ly/4gy6gts

As the owner of an optical practice you will almost certainly have set up your business to be as much a vocation as a business. You love to serve your patients and the business has served you for the years you have had it. However, there has to come a time when you consider leaving. Whether for reasons of age, lifestyle, health or just market conditions. Whatever that reason or reasons, there usually comes a “moment of the heart”. You just know it’s time.

A record number of companies are setting up employee-ownership trusts (EOTs) as owners look for alternative ways to reward staff and sell their stakes while also benefiting from a tax break. In his workshop session, Richard will give an insight into the history and motivations behind the creation of EOTs. He will explore the step-by-step process of an EOT transaction and give an overview of how businesses transition to employee ownership. Richard will delve into the responsibilities and functions of a trustee within an EOT and discuss how trustees safeguard employee interests and ensure the integrity of the ownership structure. The workshop will highlight the advantages and disadvantages of selling a business to an EOT, taking into account the practical considerations. Richard will identify the critical factors to consider when opting for the EOT route and delegates will learn about the essential elements that can influence the success of an EOT, including legal, financial, and organisational aspects.
