The Other Ownership Options
Transform Finance's new report lays out all the alternatives to traditional corporate ownership
Transform Finance, a nonprofit advocating for changes to finance, has just published what I suspect will be a landmark report laying out all the options available to business owners interested in alternative forms of ownership: Alternative Ownership Enterprises: An Introduction for Mission-Oriented Investors.
The report is packed with useful content. One visual that stuck out to me was a Venn diagram mapping out the different ways to own a business based on whether they center workers, purpose, or other stakeholders. Take a look:
I’m particularly impressed with the Transform Finance team’s efforts to turn this comprehensive report into a number of digestible formats. Check out their Learning Hub, which links to a recent webinar and Stanford Social Innovation Review article about their work.
Really useful, Mark.
Thank you for the shoutout Mark! Folks can sign up for more updates from TF on Alternative Ownership Enterprises at the Learning Hub link Mark shared above. We are planning several ways to engage with this work.
