What does Teamshares do?

Teamshares, founded in 2019, specializes in acquiring small businesses with revenues between $1-10 million from retiring owners in the U.S., Canada, and Japan. The company focuses on converting these businesses into employee-owned enterprises, ensuring the preservation of legacies, jobs, and local communities. With a goal of making 10,000 small businesses employee-owned, Teamshares has successfully acquired over 85 businesses across more than 30 U.S. states and various industries. The company’s model emphasizes employee ownership, granting equity to existing employees immediately after acquisition. This approach fosters engagement and wealth-building among staff. Teamshares provides extensive support, including leadership development programs, operational tools, and ongoing coaching to help businesses thrive independently. Their commitment to employee ownership not only enhances financial outcomes but also strengthens company culture and community impact.
