And, best of all, as a phantom equity plan, you have the flexibility to change the plan and you don't have to share voting rights or profits.
SRG's Liquidation Rights Plan is a simple yet effective way to share a stake in the value of your company with your team. The plan can be set up as a phantom equity strategy, or use the equity in your LLC for example. The Liquidation Rights Plan is a popular strategy because of its simplicity, allowing advisors to share a portion of the value of the business with key team members without the need to give up profits or voting control. Combined with a valuation annually, this program will get your employees thinking and acting more like owners.
An equity sharing plan is for firms that would like to share ownership or phantom equity with team members (licensed or unlicensed).
We encourage you to engage in the equity sharing plan within 1 to 2 years of wanting to share equity with a staff member.
Equity sharing with staff members tends to retain talent.
The owner and/or the Company should engage in the equity sharing plan.
We discourage you from having staff members be on any calls/meetings and/or sharing any information related to the plan with them until it is finalized. This helps avoid unnecessary back-and-forth and disputes.
