EXPLORE THE VALUE OF EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP
For business owners who care about more than just the bottom line. Tallgrass Employee-Owner Equity Fund invests in companies, employees and communities.
Let us invest in your legacy.
WHY EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP?
It used to be difficult and expensive for an owner to sell a business to employees. But that is no longer the case.
Tallgrass makes it easier and more affordable for family-owned businesses to transition to employee ownership — allowing owners to reap the financial rewards from their business while also preserving their legacy. Tallgrass is a trustworthy partner and investor.
Employee ownership is an ideal solution to the succession challenges faced by many family-owned businesses:
The BUsiness Owner
sell at market value
All Employees
benefit from new wealth generation and ownership mentality
Customers
enjoy stability in service delivery and brand loyalty
THE Business
avoids merger/take-over and maintains strategic control
THE Community
retains local ownership preserving jobs, economic spinoffs and tax-base
FINANCIAL INCENTIVE FOR SELLERS
New in Canada, Bill C-69 introduced a $10 Million capital gains tax incentive for business owners who sell their companies to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT).
LEADING BY EXAMPLE
Tallgrass Employee-Owner Equity Fund was formed through financial support from Friesens Corporation, operating in Altona, MB. A premier book printing company for North America, Friesens is one of Canada’s oldest, largest and most successful employee-owned companies.

FOR EMPLOYEES
A Proven Formula TO Generate new wealth for employees
When an employee has an ownership stake in their work, it encourages an entrepreneurial mindset and commitment to a company’s success.
Employee ownership is linked to better company performance; tending to be more stable and with better capacity to endure times of recession and market fluctuations. While not a guarantee, many employee owners also earn higher wages than non-owner workers.
Explore case studies of employee ownership in a variety of forms and sectors.
