Why Employee Ownership

At SSA, we believe deeply in employee-ownership. We are proudly 100% founder and employee owned (no outside investors). Through our employee ownership model, every single employee becomes an owner of SSA and all of its companies. This people-first approach enables us to create a work place where employee-owners feel valued, inspired, and work towards a common goal.

“Equity ownership is extremely valuable and creates a culture of empowerment. Having a personal interest in SSA’s success motivated me to explore new ideas and empowers me to share them with the team.”

Vanessa White, SSA Co-Owner

Benefits Of Ownership

Wealth Creation

Employee ownership enables all employees to benefit from SSA’s growth. They become owners of all companies in SSA.

Motivation

Shared ownership creates an organization with a larger purpose, creating a different work mindset. Our owners go the extra mile.

Accountability

Ownership gives employee-owners a greater sense of responsibility and pride in their work.

Culture

Ownership creates better culture by fostering communication, collaboration, and trust.

Transparency

We share everything with our co-owners: financial performance, wins and losses, new hires, and our goals
“Being a part of an employee owned organization is great. From my personal experiences, I’ve been able to see the results from previous companies. Knowing this can and will become tangible while we all operate as a unit increases my eagerness and curiosity at work.”

Stephen English, SSA Co-Owner

No. The equity comes out of our pocket.
No. We have a different structure – one that is more tax efficient and reduces the administrative burden of the co-owners
We grant equity to each co-owner that we estimate could be worth up to an annual salary in 4 years. If somebody makes $50,000, the goal is that they receive equity that will be worth $50,000 in 4 years
After 4 years, they have the option to sell the equity back to SSA or to other employees
Yes, the one requirement of the employee ownership plan is that the co-owner continue to be a part of SSA. If somebody leaves, they forfeit the equity.
