• employees buy out the owner shares over a period of time. For instance, if the shares were worth £100,000, then the employees would pay the owner £20,000 pounds per annum over a five year period.

• use loan finance accompanied by a business plan.

• if the SIP holds on to at least 10% of the shares then the value can be written off against corporation tax.
