There are a number of different financial arrangements that enable employees to become shareholders in the company. SOFICATRA and its partners have developed and financed co-operative structures and other profit-sharing mechanisms such as ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plans), MB0 (Management Buy Out), EBO (Employee Buy Out) and RES (Rachat d'Entreprises par les Salariés).
