company’s greatest asset.
It doesn’t make any
difference whether the
product
is cars or cosmetics. A
company is only as good
as the
people it keeps”

Key people as
business owners ?
“Employee ownership is world changing.
It is the way ahead…in the global
economy. It reflects that human capital
is becoming more important than
physical assets… The global economy
will succeed when employees feel a
stake in the business”
Gordon Brown MP
– Chancellor of the Exchequer
Sharing the profit
“The truth is that profit sharing doesn’t
create employee involvement - it
requires it.”
Ricardo Semler
Ladder to Equity
1. Employee – earning income
(salary/wage/hourly rates etc. ) – this is where most
employees sit ( and stay ).
2. Income model – the first step on the ladder then
is to boost that income and this is quite common –
we often see companies paying bonuses,
commissions on sales, incentives etc. to increase an
employee’s income.
3. Profit share – most equity plans begin with this
simple step and in fact many end at this step –
simply providing a share of profits to employees is a
great additional incentive as they are directly
rewarded as a result of the financial performance of
the company in the same way that a business owner
typically would be.
4. Equity
– whilst there are many equity plans available our
Peak Performance Trust provides a formal structured
mechanism to incorporate stages three, four and five
into any business succession plan - this allows
employees to transition into an equity ownership
position within the business they work for.
5. Control – often this step is never utilised though
on occasion has substantial benefits in terms of
succession not only of business management but
also ownership. Ultimately control means that
employees can be transitioned through the earlier
four stages and end up in a position of control – this
may be that they take over general management or
CEO of the company, it may be that they end up with
a seat on the board at some future date however
this step is not to be rushed

LJ Hooker Commercial
Central Coast
Winner of the 2010 ESOP of the year
award using a Peak Performance Trust.
Award based on substantial reduction in sick
days and improved staff retention, as well as
a noted increase in performance and
participation.
Ty Blanche - LJ Hooker:
“We have created a more
understanding team of people,
and added value to the
individual’s performance
congruently.”
“both financial services and property
management referrals from
employees participating in this
scheme increased at a higher level
than before. I put this down to their
seeing value in contributing to the
company’s bottom line because they
will share in the profit.”
