Go Employee Owned - Tunbridge Wells

Alistair

Being involved in the sale of a business via an EOT, I was first introduced to Chris from GOEO in July 2024.

Chris was very efficient, professional, patient and took the time to carefully explain any queries that I raised and went to great lengths to ensure all points were understood.

Pleasure to deal with, I would have no hesitation in recommending GOEO.

As a responsible and mutually beneficial route for company exit, Employee Owned Trusts are undeniably attractive. But navigating any sale process is difficult, not least one that still in its relative infancy - or rather would have been difficult, were it not for Chris Maslin and the team at GoEO.

From the initial enquiry, through engagement, valuation, and finally the sale process itself, GoEO demystified and educated every twist and turn of the process for Coda - Marketing For Industry, providing clear instruction, calm guidance, and wise counsel throughout. As seller, what could have been an emotive and stressful process was instead a satisfying and happy exit, with the absolute bonus of the business I had built now being owned by the people who deserved it most.

If you are considering the EOT route for your business and need assistance, I recommend GoEO without hesitation or qualification.Go DO!

Chris and the team are absolutely fantastic. They made the process of making my company an EOT incredibly easy. The communication throughout was always super timely, Chris' expertise was second to none, and he went above and beyond to ensure both myself and the team were comfortable and informed during all stages.

Highly recommended.

GO EO has smoothly transitioned our company Everycare (Central Hants) Ltd to an Employee Owned company. Chris was helpful all the way through and was willing to answer any questions arising, the legal process was made straightforward. I would recommend GO EO as a cost effective way to sell your company into Employee Ownership.

Chris has recently helped us transition to being 80% employee owned. His website initially introduced us to the concept and was extremely helpful. Then once we spoke to him, he managed the process for us so quickly and efficiently. What could have been a long, costly process was in fact a very simple and stress free experience. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

Chris and Laura transformed the whole EOT transition process from the complex, prohibitively costly experience that some solicitors described, to the smooth, straightforward process that the government website says it should be. To align with our year end, we completed the whole process within 4 months of initial engagement - I can’t recommend them enough!

Chris and Laura have been nothing short of excellent throughout the entire process of transitioning to employee ownership. Chris has the patience of a saint and answers the numerous questions promptly and in language that is comprehensible. His enthusiasm for the structure is clear to see, and his own experiences help enormously when he gives advice. Laura uses straightforward, clear explanations of everything, and is open and amenable to tweaks to suit individual situations. The process has been quick and frustration-free, and Go EO's fees are highly competitive. We were quoted more than their entire fee just to value the company, and had one quote of more than 5x their fee for the whole process. Thoroughly recommended.

I have nothing but good things to say about Chris and Go EO. Having sold into employee ownership himself, Chris is incredibly knowledgeable, conscientious and helpful when it comes to advising on employee ownership projects. As a professional advisor, I have worked alongside Chris on a number of EOT sales now and his insight and support have been invaluable. If you are an accountant or solicitor looking for support with an EOT project, I cannot recommend Go EO highly enough.
