To ask the Scottish Government whether it is currently on track to meet the target of 500 employee-owned businesses by 2030.
Answer
Co-operative Development Scotland, the arm of Scotland’s enterprise agencies which supports company growth through collaborative and employee ownership business models, reports that approximately 110 employee-owned businesses are registered in Scotland - around one third of the UK total.
Last year the Scottish Government funded the establishment of an employee ownership Industry Leadership Group, Scotland for Employee Ownership , with ambitious goals which empower the sector to direct its own growth and development.
In the last five years the number of employee-owned businesses in Scotland has trebled. Inquiries to Co-operative Development Scotland connected to employee ownership and succession options have increased by 50% since 2018. Co-operative Development Scotland consider that the ambitious sector target of 500 employee-owned businesses by 2030 is achievable.
