Is a management buyout or a family transfer the same as employee ownership?

Short Answer

No. Employee ownership is broad-based. Eligible employees become owners through an ESOP, a worker co-op, or an EOT. A management buyout sells the company to a few managers. A family transfer keeps ownership in the family.
