Helping Colorado Businesses Transition to Employee Ownership
Keep your business alive, protect jobs, and build community wealth through employee ownership. The RMEOC helps business owners, workers, and communities create lasting legacies.
OUR PATH
Steps To Employee Ownership
Sourcing Solutions
We guide you through various employee ownership models, including Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), worker cooperatives, and more, to identify the optimal fit for your business and employees.
Implementation
We help you structure the employee-owned entity, devise the logistics of the sale, and refer you to knowledgeable legal and financial advisors along the way to guide and close the deal.
Education
We help employee owners understand their new roles to get the most out of the transition, and help create an ongoing culture of engagement for a more democratic and participatory workplace.

Featured Initiatives
Imagine a world where 30% of businesses are employee-owned
According to a Harvard Review Study, “The share of wealth held by the bottom 50% of Americans would more than quadruple, jumping from just 1.4% of the total net worth of Americans to 6.4%.”
That’s why RMEOC is here to promote employee-owned businesses in the Rocky Mountain Region.

Drive Change
Support the Drivers Cooperative Colorado
The Drivers Cooperative - Colorado exemplifies transformative change. It’s Ahmed’s story, an immigrant from Morocco who almost cried when he completed the first ride with the coop he had helped build from the ground up. It’s Mohammed’s story, a Sudanese native, who recruited drivers for two years hoping to create better opportunities for fellow drivers. It’s the story of over 500 member-owners, diverse individuals from all corners of the globe, all now calling Colorado home, all united to achieve what they deserve—better pay, dignity, and a say in their work. This isn’t just a ride-share company; it’s a movement built everyday by real people, for real people.
Employee ownership builds stronger businesses, creates better jobs, and helps develop more sustainable and resilient local economies — and it’s a powerful way to address racial and social inequality.
